It's me again! I'll just incorporate and put all the cars I own
under the name of my corporation. I'll still keep a "party car"
in case the state must confiscate something.

I'm not advocating drunk driving, I just had to point out the
bogacity (bogus-ness) of the above response. The wealthy types
will in fact try my suggestion for weasling out of punishment.

Face it guys, THE CAR CONFISCATION IDEA WON'T WORK! It's full
of holes and besides, the severity of the punishment depends
on factors wholly external to the crime-i.e. the value of the
car(s) confiscated. If you'd heard my original brilliant idea
that started all the DWI postings you'd see the only sensible
solution to the whole damn problem! Flame off!
