I am sure he has a good reason, maybe he is required to carry equipment back and forth to work.
This is a good point. I had to do this for my previous job - no choice. I'm not trying to be (too) critical if he indeed could walk or bike, I just advocate considering alternatives, because as you say, you went 5 years before thinking "huh... why am I not walking to work?". Just bringing that perspective to the table before we even start talking about driving styles/mods - seems like its a bit higher on the flowchart. (Do you need to drive? Y/N)
