How Steve Jobs could go at the "Mercedes" no-nos

Few people know that Steve Jobs was the owner of the car Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG, which he constantly moved. At the time this car was one of the fastest on the road. The machine is equipped with 8-cylinder engine with a volume of 5.5 liters and output of 510 horsepower.

However, the car of Steve Jobs is a remarkable feature: it has no license plates. As he would say Jobs, he is tired of going to the police about the theft of his numbers. On this account various rumors were afloat. Some believed that the founder of Apple simply not "steamed" and, in case the police stop, pay fines and quietly went on. Others believed that Jobs has a special permit: do not use license plates, stickers and replace them with bar codes that are encoded vin-code car. Both of these options are far from the truth, everything was much simpler and more brilliant.

ITWire publication interviewed Entrust Technical Director John Kallas, who at one time ago was a top manager of Apple. John revealed the secret of the car Jobs, which has no markings.

It turns out that Steve (and his family) have found a loophole in the law on transportation in California. Any person after buying a new car, must within 6 months, attach a number issued to the vehicle. Jobs with the leasing company has agreed that it would change his Mercedes SL55 AMG every 6 months for absolutely the same model, but a new one.

Thus, Jobs has always traveled by car no older than 6 months and, therefore, could easily do without numbers.
