The context of the following conversation is Because they were worried about their car breaking down on the long drive to their new job, Kendall erred on the side of caution and looked into other options instead.:
Kendall says I can't believe we got the same construction job together..
The friend responds It's a long commute, but the good pay and working and traveling together will be worth it..
Kendall responds The long commute is the one thing I'm worried about.  I'm not sure my car can handle it day after day..
The friend responds There might be a bus, or we could rent a car, Kendall.
Kendall responds How about I front you some cash and together we get you a car?.
The friend responds Well, I do need a car, but I don't know.  Maybe you could upgrade yours..
