James, if you only have to pay $900 dollars to get your street paved, consider yourself lucky ... even before the great recession, Durham had a 100+ year average repaving schedule. If you can have your street paved this year, you're set for life!

My advice to you to is to shop estate sales until you find a 1984 Olds Delta 88 with nice tall 215-75/15 tires. Drop the air pressure to about 26 lbs all around, and just ignore the pavement problems.

A delta 88 is a GM product, blasphemy!

I can't agree more, though if you have to sacrifice a car to bad roads, which not a GM? That said, most of those are now equipped with 22" or larger wheels. So my new recommendation for comfortable motoring is the 1979 Chrysler Cordoba - tire size" 205/75-15.

Hey now!!! My parents had one of those when I was kid. With the corinthian leather.

My favorite part of the car was that it would continue to run for 5-10 minutes after the key was removed and we had long gone inside.

From Corinth, Michigan. One of the greatest marketing spins in history!

1975 Chrysler Cordoba commercial...

After watching that commercial, I want one! Chrysler just needs an updated version of that commercial, but using the Dos Equis guy.
