The reason why Steve Jobs SL 55 AMG never had a license plate

Mercedes No Comments »

Steve Jobs, the visionary found of Apple and animation firm Pixar, was someone who changed people’s lives because of how he brought the computer in almost every home, and also how introduced products like the iPhone, iPod, and iPad among others. Sadly this great man passed away earlier this month at the young age of 56.

After the death of Steve Jobs, some rumors circulated over the internet and one of these is his SL 55 AMG and its plate number, or the absence of its license number.

Some people say that he just did not care because he can afford the fines while some say that he was able to get a special permit in order to be on the road without one.

The issue was clarified by Jon Callas who worked for Steve Jobs at Apple in several security positions . He revealed that Steve Jobs love to stick with some things in his personal life, like his Mercedes SL 55 AMG. And the ride came with no license plates.

This is why. Steve Jobs or one of his close associates found a loophole in the laws of the state of California giving anyone with a brand new car a period of 6 months before putting a plate number on their vehicle.

So, Jobs talked to the car leasing company so he can changed his car with an identical silver SL 55 AMG after every 6 months. No one knew about this for some reason and no one noticed that he is driving a different car. It was also a good deal for the leasing company since they can sell off an almost brand new Mercedes-Benz which was owned and used by Steve Jobs.

Hats off to this clever man.
