Steve Jobs famously used to get a new car every 6 months, because in California, you don't have to put plates on it for that amount of time. So he could essentially permanently drive around without an attached license plate.
I think about this from time to time.
- fragmede 1y agoThat's illegal now, not that it affects him any more.
- seanw444 1y agoWell that's just based.
- dylan604 1y agoPaper plates are still required. The number on it may not be as large as the actual plate, but there is definitely a unique number on it that is absolutely registered to owner of the car. This sounds a lot like urban legend / internet lore
- ericbarrett 1y agoCalifornia did not require numbered paper plates when Jobs did this. Car dealers would put paper plates advertising themselves on the car, but you could remove them. Your temporary registration was taped on the inside of the front windshield. I personally saw his SL500 with dealer plates a couple of times while visiting the Apple campus as a vendor. He'd park in the handicap spot too.
- bitexploder 1y agoYep, and just paid all the fines if / when he got them.
