Two or three weekends a month I'm driving 360 miles (180 round trip to pick up on Friday and another 180 to drop her off sunday) so I can spend time with my kid.

I think all he was saying is bike (or other, skateboard, walk, skip, hop) your way to your very short commute and close by job and use your paid off? vehicle for visiting your child because it makes sense vs buying another car financially.
