Default how bad is wheel hop for your car?

Pretty much what the topic says. Exactly what kind of damage can happen from wheel hop? I imagine it's pretty bad on the suspension and motor mounts, having your car jitter around like that.. can someone tell me the specific Bad Things it can cause? Thanks

axles and weaken and snap, and it can mess up your bearings and transmission.

Aside from potential Axle and suspension stress, I think the worst Part about it is that it just plain out feels Wierd... and uncomfy... Ive found that Tegs Generally have a Heck Of alot More wheel "hop" then any other car ive driven...
Wierd...

Wow.. sounds pretty bad. I was talking to some idiot who didn't believe me when I said it was bad for your car.
Oh yeah, can it break your motor mounts?

I think a motor mount will be the last of your worries.
