Why Steve Jobs Never Had a License Plate on His Car!
Legendary Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, never put a license plate on his cars. He got away with it legally thanks to a California loophole. Anyone with a brand-new car had a maximum of six months to affix the issued number plate to the vehicle. So Jobs would simply trade his silver Mercedes SL55 AMG for a similar one on the sixth month of his lease. Problem solved. No plate needed.
While some speculate this was for privacy, it’s far more likely Job’s symbol of one-upmanship on the government, sticking it to “the man”. But the fact is you don’t have to be rich or famous to live life on your own terms. You just have to decide to do it and not worry about what others think!
