In NY I believe you get your car taken if it is a "felony DWI" which may mean 2nd offense within a certain time frame.
note to self.. don't drink and drive. period.
edit;
Mark, here in NY they don't just seize YOUR vehicle, they take whoever's vehicle you are driving; leased, corporate, neighbors wifes' minivan, whatever you are driving.
The irony is, if you are sober and driving without a license that was revoked for DWI, they DONT take the car. I agree the laws need some tweeking to say the least. Most of the bad accidents near me are DWI.
