i saw a 666 plate just a couple days ago ... the letter number combinations are done by a randomization program, so some times you get words and stuff too ... ex i see often: 'car', 'are', 'man' etc ... this viper looks like they were just plates

Looking at the plates tell me that it was randomly generated and it is somewhere in Europe. Perhaps near the Vatican??

What a hypocrite! Does the guy that destroyed the Viper thing he is the "good" guy for taking a stand against "666"? To bad he doesn't know yet that he is the one going to hell.

I have heard stories of cars being burned here in Mexico City for purposes of revenge, but never something like this Viper.

I always do vanity tags and If I were to get some randomly generated 666 tags I'd return 'em. However some people need a life. To destroy someone else's personal property because of a series of numbers, significant or otherwise. I guess someone thought they were doing something righteous.
