Perhaps what is meant by "garnish" is seized for sale for payment of a debt owed. In theory any real or personal property owned solely by a debtor can be attached and sold by a judgment holder to recover money owed.

Vehicles are considered real property and unless they are protected by the state's exemption law can be subject to seizure and sale.
