Maybe he thought it was a driverless Uber backhoe....

Desperate times call for desperate measures. (Plus it seemed like a good idea at the time.)

Oh, come now, I bet even a big piece of equipment like a backhoe can't catch a plane.

Did he make the flight? Can see where a person would resort to this with the cost of UBER to the airport these days.

Do you need a ride to the airport?"
"No, I'll take the backhoe."
"Did you find some luggage when you went shopping the other day?"
"No, I'll just use my guitar case, I can fit everything in there."
"It's a long flight, better use the restroom before you board, those toilets on the plane can get pretty gross."
"Yeah, good thinking. I just started SITZPINKLERing, thanks man."

I guess he didn't want to pay to park.

I guess he couldn't find a fronthoe.

Some of the recent procedures in my current health journey required that I have a driver to get me home.
“I took an Uber here. Rental company leaving the bulldozer for me to get home” did not work as well as I thought it would
