And the media will have a frenzy over the Escalade being retrieved from the yard, and not take a serious look a Greenestone. Small wonder Doolittle felt frustrated.

Is there any legal reason why RoFo himself can't pick up the Escalade?
He could catch a supervised lift down with a rehab counsellor.
If the OPP want give his comeback career a boost, they can "randomly" breath test him on the drive back to Greenestone.
RoFo blows clean, proving that rehab is working. He's coming back!
Instant worldwide news story. (You people write the headlines)

None at all. He could have gotten it that very day. Or he could have anybody else go to pick it up. There is no requirement that the car be impounded at all. They could have called Rob or Doug to come and pick it up from the roadside.

Oh my! I didn't realize when they enacted all of the new penalties that they added roadside impoundment as well. Learn something new every day!

What happens with a rental or a auto-share? Does the "meter" keep on ticking, as if they are still "using" it?

I live way south of Muskoka (towards Collingwood) but most municipal roads around me remain unpaved. Only county and provincial roads are paved and it's the same in Muskoka. I live on an unpaved road (as do most of my friends) and I drive a pickup (as do most of my friends!).

There are stories of the police even having to impound their own vehicles for "street racing".
Also, one of our fire chiefs, in a departmental vehicle, also got impounded racing to a funeral somewhere east of Toronto.

He could NOT have gotten it back that very day, the Highway Traffic Act is very specific:
"Effective December 1, 2010, drivers with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08, or who fail to comply with breath testing, face an immediate seven-day vehicle impoundment at roadside. Also effective December 1, 2010, a seven-day vehicle impoundment applies to drivers who get behind the wheel of a vehicle without an ignition interlock device in violation of such a condition on their licence. There is no ability for the vehicle owner to appeal these seven-day impoundments.
Regardless of whether the vehicle is rented, leased or loaned to a friend or family member, the vehicle will be impounded. The vehicle owner will be liable for all towing and impoundment costs."

When wasted, many alcoholics seem to like to “act out”.
Some act narcisstic: it’s all about *them*.
Some act sociopathic: it’s all about *you*.
------------------------
McRob’s getting busted in the Escalade seems like acting out to me.
Think about it. You’ve just met someone. The icing on the cake is he/she is a celebrity of sorts. You’ve just been in rehab for alcohol. You leave rehab and promptly crash your car – driving pish drunk. Your new special friend lends you his car, which incidentally is strongly tied to his public identity.
This oughta be one of those times when you keep yourself straight so you don’t f**k it all up. One of those times when you keep a lowwww profile. No?
Or you could jump in the bottle, then jump in the ‘Lade, drive all over the road, past the see-all general store, pedal-to-the-metal. 150 km in an 80 km zone. That might attract a little bit of attention.
What’s that all about? Or should I say *who*?
Any thoughts?

I'd say she has about as much impulse control as Rob, neither one would pass the marshmallow test.

1. She's high on booze and the "situation" with Rob and has no impulse control.
2. She's high on booze and the "situation" with Rob and she wants the world to know it.
ETA:
3. She doesn't give a f**k, ie. she's angry on some level.
4. Rob told her not to worry, she can do whatever she likes - he gets away with it all the time.
