In my dissent in Dent v. State, 714 So.2d 985 (Ala.Civ.App. 1997), I said that I would have upheld the forfeiture, applying the instrumentality test. I would uphold the forfeiture in this present case, applying the same test. See Austin v. UnitedStates, 509 U.S. 602, 623-28, 113 S.Ct. 2801, 2812-15,125 L.Ed.2d 488 (1993) (Scalia, J., concurring in part and concurring in the judgment).
