  • slkuhn, on 02/03/2008, -11/+72Pure craziness. I only wish I had the money to blow 6.8 mill on a license plate.
  • fixty, on 02/03/2008, -13/+72Not even walking around everywhere with a bluetooth earpiece says douchbag as loudly as having a vanity plate. So to the soon-to-be proud owner of vanity plate numero uno all I can say is "yes, indeed you are number one... douche".
  • weiwuwei, on 02/03/2008, -14/+56Supposedly some of the money goes to a charity for victims of traffic accidents...
  • BlackCow, on 02/03/2008, -0/+37How much is 1337 going for?
  • djepik, on 02/03/2008, -3/+39Wow this is actually a really innovative way for the government to get money from the super rich.
  • CobaltBlue, on 02/03/2008, -5/+36They aren't paying the money for the physical license plate. It's for the right to use it. If it was stolen they would just get another one. Plus, how long do you think you could drive your car with the stolen 5 plate on it before you get your hand cut off?
  • inactive, on 02/03/2008, -10/+33Now you know why you pay $3+ a gallon of gas.
  • themoosejuice, on 02/03/2008, -5/+266.8 million and you can steal it with a screwdriver in 30 seconds.
  • Spuy767, on 02/03/2008, -3/+23This is the kind of behaviors I expect out of hip hop stars, but I guess at some point you have so much ***** money that you just lose perspective.
  • mmmmmbiscuits, on 02/03/2008, -0/+20Too much, but you could probably get "1338-1" for free.
  • SniperXPX, on 02/03/2008, -4/+23He's an emo panda bear =(
  • Vulphaestion, on 02/03/2008, -0/+19I always hate vanity plates because if you do something stupid, it'll be easy to rememeber the plate "Oh, ISUCKCOK!" Instead of "DAMNIT was that a 4 or an A?!"
  • FatPhizzle, on 02/03/2008, -2/+20I wish i had the license plate that got me 6.8 mil
  • iiBeLiEvE, on 02/03/2008, -0/+14The one of "agina" in the state of Virginia with the large V on the license plate is still the best one.
  • minoss, on 02/03/2008, -1/+12Giving money to people rarely helps them in the long run. Plus, it's his money, he can do whatever the ***** he wants with it without ***** like you telling him otherwise.
  • rey1867, on 02/03/2008, -2/+13The Assman is still better ;)
  • nickkie72, on 02/03/2008, -2/+12I think we have some REALLY bored millionaires out there...
  • leahcim, on 02/03/2008, -5/+15"The United States would never do anything like this to help those with no money or insurance."

    And why do you take this opportunity to attack Americans? The individual citizens of the United States are the most charitable people in the world.

  • diieson, on 02/03/2008, -0/+10To quote Hot Fuzz:

    "We call them traffic collisions"
    "Why?"
    "Because traffic accident implies that no one is at fault"
  • gamer31, on 02/03/2008, -1/+10That was a Rolls Royce, not a Mercedes.
  • djepik, on 02/03/2008, -1/+10Or victims of traffic accidents...
  • wellyuk, on 02/03/2008, -3/+12Ohhhh! $3+ a GALLON of gas!! What misery it must be to pay such a fortune for gas. How about you try $9 a gallon of gas? Shut up your whinging about the price of gas, you pay less than anyone else in the world.
  • gamer31, on 02/03/2008, -0/+8Burried...Because you live in Jersey.
  • wellyuk, on 02/03/2008, -2/+10Yes.. that's right. Digg him up. You pay LESS than more or less EVERYONE in the world for gas. Stop ***** moaning, you have absolutely no right at all to complain. $3 a gallon? The UK hasn't paid even close to that kind of money for gas in over 10 years.
  • badjokes, on 02/03/2008, -4/+12wonder if it came with a free car.
  • down4twenty, on 02/03/2008, -4/+12they're arabian millionares, 7 million is nothing to them.

  • borez, on 02/03/2008, -0/+7Puts it on Lada
  • daliminator, on 02/03/2008, -3/+10Step 1: Buy $6.8 million license plate to help victims of car accidents.
    Step 2: Run over some peons on the sidewalk with your Phantom and stamp them with your badass license plate number.
    Step 3: Go to Step 1.
  • ep53, on 02/03/2008, -0/+6Everyone is making it sound like the physical plate is worth $6.8 mil, the plate costs like $20 to make, its the registration and the fact that YOU OWN the rights to that number plate that's expensive. I could go and have a number "1" made into a number plate. Except if i put it on my car it would be illegal. My son has his name on his bedroom door written on a numberplate.
  • G1MPY, on 02/03/2008, -0/+6My first thought was "I wonder how much 666 was worth"...
  • mmmmmbiscuits, on 02/03/2008, -1/+7How much of your yearly income do you give to charity, cowsgonemadd3?
  • ianam, on 02/03/2008, -0/+6Billionaires.
  • timbo458, on 02/03/2008, -3/+8I don;t know, but I'll bet 911 went for a hefty sum!
  • apjoseph, on 02/03/2008, -0/+5Arabian BILLIONARIES; so yes, millions are nothing to them.

    I loved it at the end where he says "15-20" what "million?", "yes." HA!
  • cidman2001, on 02/03/2008, -3/+8I think the guy with the blue-tooth earpiece is more of a douche bag. It's nice to hear that I'm not the only one who think those people are self-absorbed morons. What the hell do these ear-piece idiots afraid they're going to miss...and have they looked in the mirror to see how ***** retarded they look. I bet they used to carry around "bag phones" and fanny packs back in the day as well.
  • andregriffin, on 02/03/2008, -1/+6Wow, people like you still exist? I guess you're the guy that makes my life hell as a web developer.
  • RobTyree, on 02/03/2008, -1/+6This was in a foreign country, not the US. I'm not a Bush fan either, but you could at least bother to RTFA, or in this case, WTFV.

  • aceakm, on 02/03/2008, -1/+6That was a different guy in the video...
  • gl77, on 03/31/2008, -0/+5a rolls is a far cry from a mercedes, so yes.
  • wellyuk, on 02/03/2008, -1/+6$3+ a gallon! The torment! Oh, the persecution! When you pay $9 a gallon THEN you can grumble. Until then, GTFO with your $3 a gallon. You pay less than anyone else in the world.
  • sougly, on 02/03/2008, -1/+6It's cooler to criticize the rich.
