Well, I'm also a resident of North Carolina and I don't know if they spend 1 cent of that 29 on roads. These roads will beat up any nice car -- so I gave up, parked the Porsche and drive a leased PT Cruiser now. I'll turn it in with "normal wear and tear" which will be substantial in NC.
Have you guy (gals) avoided and prevented an income tax from the state of NC ?
The leeches in office will always spend more and more if you let them.
