What a great idea!
I *particularly* like how *fair* it is!

Right now a person who makes $10k/yr would be devastated by a 
90mph speeding ticket, while someone who makes $100k/yr wouldn't 
even feel a pinch.

Your idea is much more fair.  When the poor guy loses his little 
Festiva and the rich guy loses his Testosterosa - that would 
even things up a little.
