Good for him, although it surprises me that after all this time, he can’t afford a second hand car.

Hey, the man gets to work every day. Where I work, it is amazing how many people skip work on a regular basis for the flimsiest of excuses.

That being said, I seems to me that there are other possibilities. I mean an ounce of brain power can be worth a ton of muscle power. There are bikes (as other's have mentioned), car pooling, public transportation, moving closer to work, buying cheap cars, etc. Sure some of these cost a few extra dollars, but he apparently values his time very cheaply. Still, ya gotta give him credit here.
