Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, never had any license plates on his silver Mercedes SL55 AMG. The reason why he didn't want plates on his car is yet to be revealed. Sources state that in four years he never got a single ticket for driving without his license plate. How's that possible? Well, he wasn't a mailman, that's for sure. There's a loophole in the California vehicle law. In California, when issued a license plate number, you have six months to put the plates on your car. Steve Jobs simply changed cars every six models, and he always bought a new model Mercedes SL55 AMG. Were you aware of this little apple fact?
