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.

No.
She's not "allowed" to drive the car. My husband is starting to pick up on that because when I went ot use it over mine the other day (his was blocking mine) it was off limits. I don't like that. It just didn't sit well with me.
Not where I'm from. The bus system here is TERRIBLE. It's important to your job to have transportation. And your life. It's not a luxury thing here the way it is in other places. It's a necessity. You're putting your career at serious risk without one. (We fired a girl in my unit for constantly being late to shifts as a result of the bus although that's not what they said they fired her for.) A lot of employment requires a personal vehicle because of it. Having a car here is WAY to important to future stability. If we lived in a functioning city with transit it woudn't be an issue.
The point about the car isn't whether or not they can afford one. They obviously can because HE'S getting a motorcycle.
