Default DWI seizure of my car.

Hate to lose my Spyder.

ICE: Pioneer DVD double den deck, Pioneer 700 sub amp, Rockford Amp 4 channel, Cerwin Vega 6 speakers all around, 2 ten Kickers & a power cap.

Suspension: Tien Flex coilovers, Cusco strut towers. camber kits front & rear, 19x8inch ADR 5 star 2inch lip all around.

I put a lot of time & effort into my baby.

Any advice?

You can take a pound of flesh out of your cousin's ass for screwing you over.

yea if it's registered in your name, you should be able to get it back, most likely you will have to pay impound fees or whatever

Get a lawyer ASAP.

After a quick search I found this:
Excerpt: If you get arrested for drunk driving, you may wonder what will become of your car. The police officer will bring you in for questioning, further blood alcohol testing and possibly to hold you until your court date. Your car may not be left for your friend to pick up. Minnesota DUI law covers what will happen to your car...

If you do not own the car you are driving yourself, you can cause problems for other people. The vehicle used in the incident will have its license plates impounded, whether it belongs to the driver or not. Besides this, any other vehicle you own, lease, or have registered in your name or jointly can have its license plates impounded....

If the owner of the vehicle knew nothing about the use of the vehicle that resulted in the crime, he will not lose his car.

I don't know how valid this info is. Contact an attorney
