I think the car really is a pressure cooker when you're in it with someone who as been drinking, and very dangerous. Better to avoid it at all costs.
I absolutely agree with this!
XABF always used the car to heap on some of his worst verbal/emotional abuse.
I remember at one point breaking down, and telling him that I was afraid of his car. I was actually afraid of being in his car with him, but I couldn't tell him that, so I put all my emotions on the car - since if we weren't in his car, I had a chance to escape (not to mention I wouldn't be in it when he was driving drunk).
