We know many curiosities about Steve Jobs. One of the most interesting is that the founder of Apple never had a license plate on his mercedes. A situation made possible by a curious California law and an agreement with a dealer.
A small legal loophole in the state of California
Apparently Steve Jobs was not amused a bunch of random letters and numbers will be associated with him or his car. Fortunately, Steve Jobs was able to “think differently” when he discovered that in the state of California, the law allowed driving without a license plate for six months after buying a new car. A courtesy that Jobs used to achieve his goal.
The Apple boss made a deal with a dealership that offered car rentals so he could give him a new Mercedes SL 55 AMG every six months. This freed him from having to carry a license plate while he regularly replaced the car.
A most curious layout, because it turns out that this Mercedes model is not particularly cheap. And speaking of price, one can’t help but wonder if the dealership managed to sell one of these vehicles. announcing it as “worn by Steve Jobs”.
One more curiosity about Steve Jobs who joins a long collection that makes the founder of the Cupertino company a most unique character. A man who knew what he wanted, showed it to the world with groundbreaking product designs, and also knew that he didn’t want to wear license plates on his mercedes.
