Not sure I fully understand. If he gets a motorcycle, can she not then have full access to the car?

Also, you may not have meant it to sound rude, but it came across to me as a bit rude the way you said "I, personally, as an adult woman with children could not with any sense of self respect mooch rides. Or take the bus."

From my perspective, that is communicating that if you take the bus, you lack self-respect. How so? It's a more environmentally friendly and affordable way to get places, and a lifesaver for those who aren't even close to being able to afford ONE vehicle, let alone a second. (Being able to afford things is not something that comes easily to many members here. They would not be able to afford cable, let alone get it cut to afford a second car).

Maybe it's because I grew up poor, but you do come across as high maintenance. My apologies if this comes across as rude, but I did want to voice my opinion on the matter.
