Can the term "by car" also be expressed as "автом" or "машиною"?

Авто is currently uninflectable, even though there are people who believe it should. You can say машиною and that's even better than "на машині"

На машиною? На машині? Are these both correct instrumental forms? I'm confused because the endings are different.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/va-diim

Машиною = by car. На машині = on a car [lit.] (de facto "in a car").

Just машиною (instrumental): Я не подорожую машиною.
With locative: Я не подорожую на машині

What about "їду машиною". Разве это правильно? Is this correct?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/va-diim

Подорожую means "travel." Їду means go (on wheels).

Like my boss asks me why don't you travel to Ukraine with car. Phew..

Where exactly can one use such a sentence? Except when you want to be very cryptic about your means of ongoing trip. I don't have a driver's licence, but still can travel by car.

Should be pronounced подорожУю, not пОдорожую
