#2I wonder if this also applies to used cars; if you don't mind driving a bit of a clunker, you could do this affordably. A twenty year old car does not depreciate in value significantly over six months.
edit: hm, looks like it only applies to cars sold by a dealer.

#3So 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.

#4I think it's beautiful. This let him buck authority and beat the system at the same time. There was a monetary cost involved (and it could be argued that the system beat him out of fresh registration fees every 6 months), but... still. You gotta admire the gusto. ;)

#5that'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.

#6Approaching 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.

he probably got cancer from all the volatile compounds that gives new cars that smell.

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.

#9Now 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.

>>handicap spots
Cancer could qualify him for that, maybe?
