There is never any excuse for the government to take someone's personal property. The problem is that the government does things to make an example and show they have the ability to do stuff like this. I think a better solution is to heavily fine these people. If fines don't work then there is a penalty tier system. After 1 time fine and loss of license, 2nd time you do jail time. 3rd time you lose the car and a HUGE ass fine.

There has to be some sort of logical way to do stuff like this. The problem is they don't make it even across the board. Drunks don't lose their cars. Drug addicts don't lose their cars. Old people with cataracts (sp?) don't lose their cars.

It's a ******** law I busted my ass to buy this car and do what I want to do to it. Not only that but with all the safety equipment it's probably safer then most cars on the road. Not saying street racing is smart but 99.9 % of us have done it or at least went WOT on the parkway/turnpike at least once.

You can't just rip something away from someone for a first time being caught offense.
