If you're afraid of the speed bumps, just go over them sideways, just don't forget to turn into the bump, just before you go over it. Think like parking on a hill and turning the wheel to the curb, same idea. The rim/tire will carry that lowest part over the bump without touching it. Also it's great because part of the maneuver is that you can really p*ss off the people behind you that are trying to figure out what the h*ll you're doing!! BTW, sideways does work. My prior car was like 2-2 1/2 inches off the ground from the body frame and I got stuck, quite literally, on speed bumps if I didn't go sideways.
