He didn’t want a license plate so people wouldn’t know which car was his and it would be harder to stalk him. He didn’t give them away because they were leased

He didn’t give them away because they were leased and you have to return them at the end of the lease.
There’s plenty to criticize about Jobs and no shortage of criticism, but at least get your facts right.

- onion2k 5y agoPlenty of successful people drive a Mercedes SL55 AMG. It was common enough not to be worth following.
- ultrablack 5y agoIf I recall correctly, he got a nee Mercedes every 6 months to avoid having any licenseplates which in turn allowed him to dodge parking tickets.
- 1cvmask 5y agoEveryone knew it was his car because he had the signature mark of NOT having a license plate. The ultimate vanity of vanity plates. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanity_plate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanity_plate
- imgabe 5y agoIn California you have up to 6 months after buying a car to register it and get a plate. There are tons of cars driving around without license plates.
- mschuster91 5y agoThat means you effectively have six months of immunity against speed trap cameras?
- imgabe 5y agoI suppose. Most people probably register the car sooner rather than waiting until the last minute and risking penalties for having an unregistered car just to maybe avoid a few speeding tickets.
