I once got a ticket for driving 104 on one of Florida's turnpikes. Was my '66 GOAT responsible? Actually, it was a bit over 110 but the patrolman gave me a break. I disobeyed the law, not the car.
Your story reminds me of something that happened to the father of a late friend of mine. He was a Polish immigrant. The cops followed his father home and stopped him in front of his house after he parked the car. He failed both the field sobriety test and the breathalyzer. He was arrested and his car was towed.
He went to court and was upset at having to spend some time in jail and went on a rampage of sorts. He told the judge "I understand, I was drunk, I was wrong. But they towed my car in front of my house. My car wasn't drunk, I was!!!!"



I'll never forget that story as long as I live.
