The obvious solution is the triplet the Port Mann.
Or, people should just live closer to where they work. If you work in Vancouver, live there. If you live in Abbotsford and you're going to get in your car at 6 AM, it better be to the Coquihalla. There is never a traffic jam heading east. Ever.
The dudeman doesn't commute. Rule number 8, or whatever rule we're on.
But the dudeman does need a car. He's going places, just not to work.
I present three fully capable options.
The Classic Tercel wagon
Conquering the Mt. Cheam fire road.
It's four-wheel drive, it's got loads of space, and it's cheap. This car will tackle anything, at speeds up to 80 km per hour.
The hail-damaged insurance write-off
It's ruined.
This can be any car, per se. The important thing is that, although there's nothing actually wrong with it, it has no value. Hence, there can be no further objections to racking up tons of miles and taking it places you probably shouldn't.
Dudeman makes a compelling case, which requires no further elaboration. Unless you're this guy, he's not going to sell it to you.
