Some of those questions are from people that sound like they'd like to purchase it and give it back to original owner/builder. It would be nice to see that happen. Somebody had a lot of time invested in that thing for the Minnesota Nazi Continuation Party to seize it in a vehicle forfeiture. They didn't need to take that away from him. That's ridiculous and greedy. Forfeiture of personal property is a very bad thing and the beginning of a very bad form of government. Watch out!

In the picture auction they keep answering something like, "thanks, glad people know the man behind the chair". The only thing that I read was that he is a US Navy veteran. So, I must be missing something, what is the story of the man? I take it he must of drag raced it or something?

I know what a DUI means but what is a DWI?

Driving While Intoxicated.

Here we refer to it as a "deuce" (sorry Marlin) from "502" the MVCode.

What is the difference between DUI, Driving Under the Influence, and DWI, Driving While Intoxicated?

I guess DWI is you were drinking booze, and DUI is you were taking something that could have been drugs, or booze.

Correct?

Anyways, why should anyone help a guy that broke the law?

Around here if one gets busted more than once they can loose their car that was used.

My assistants husband lost his 2 year old Chevy truck last year this way. She has peronalized whisky plates on her mini van from it now too. But the new used truck that he has now has normal plates on it.

Well John, you know what......I'm all for the "do the crime, do the time, pay the fine or both" but I'm strongly against the the government seizing private assets from it's citizens. That is blatantly wrong and a sure sign of a government overstepping it's bounds. You put somebody in jail if they are a hazard to society. You DON'T take things away from people and their families. It is wrong on many levels.
