A car has an easily recognizable owner; I think he wanted to make it clear that He knew exactly who was in the house. Roses and champagne, even if they were taken with the paramour, would generally be inside of the house (and have ambiguous ownership).
I don't think the car is really that distracting from the story, honestly.
Sean: What a morbid story. :p The transition from happy full of flowers and bunnies and fields to death is rather drastic.
