Now explain why he liked to use handicap spots and find the DMV loophole for that. Or how he seeded Apple by selling something that would have landed him in federal prison today.
Your first claim is false.

Re: California DMV Loophole Allowed Jobs to Drive Sans-Plates
#12Approaching 4 years of driving with no plates on the same car here in California. Just leave the paper dealer plate(the one with the dealership name/logo on it) on the car. Cops wont ever pull you over for lack of plates, even if youre missing the front plate as well, as I am.
did that too because DMV was loosing my papers for a while. drove almost one year without plates. no one ever complained. I had 'dealer' plates on both ends. otoh, a friend got a ticket for missing front plates.
They won't pull you over if they see the dealer plate on the back though. I had a cop coming towards me, flip a U when he saw no front plate, see my dealer plate, flip another U and go on his way. This was after about 2 years of driving with that dealer plate, mind you.
If you get stopped for something else, you'll get ticketed. It's a fix-it ticket though and costs around $25 and two minutes to get signed off.

#15Can anyone explain the advantage to driving without plates?
It seems that being the Mercedes AMG would be just as easy to identify as the Mercedes with the APPLE1 plate.

#16So basically, Steve got a new Mercedes more often than I get new shoes. Now that's what I expect out of a multibillionaire. Good to see he at least kept himself in new-car smell on a regular basis, and certainly kept a local dealer quite happy.
Oh, chill out. The article says the car was leased. He probably had to pay some kind of premium to keep his leases down to six months at a time, but it's not like he was buying a new $120k car twice a year.

#18that's the most moronic thing anyone can do. pay extra to the dealer. pay registration of a new car every 6mo. hassle of dealing with it. i imagine how many iphone prototypes the dealer found in the glovebox of hundreds of returned sl55 over that time.
4 years / 6 months = 8. 8 cars, not hundreds.

he probably got cancer from all the volatile compounds that gives new cars that smell.
Uh, they stick an ozonator (ozone) in the car at the end of the factory run. Used car dealers frequently use them. Due to the fact the Ozone will bind to almost anything volatile, the air is effectively sterilised and gives it that "new car smell".
tl;dr: you're a douche; your internet access should probably be revoked

Minimalism. A reflection of his design philosophy.
