The multitude of mysteries revealed following the death of Apple co-founder
Steve Jobs' death now includes one that puzzled car enthusiasts for years:
How did Jobs get away with driving without a license plate? It was common
knowledge that Jobs would park his Mercedes SL55 AMG in a handicapped spot
at Apple's Cupertino, Calif., headquarters, with nothing to identify his
vehicle other than the tiny barcode that usually rests behind the rear
license plate. According to Walter Isaacson's new biography, Jobs wanted to
avoid having a plate for privacy reasons; and yet when having a license-less
silver Mercedes became a kind of trademark, Jobs kept motoring without one
"because I don't."
For years, rumors swirled that Jobs had either won a special dispensation
from California authorities or was just daring police to stop him. While the
why remains somewhat cloudy, an interview by ITWire with a former Apple
security executive reveals the real reason: a little-known loophole in
California vehicle laws that gives owners up to six months to get plates for
their vehicles.
According to Jon Callas, now chief technical officer of Entrust, Jobs would
arrange with his vehicle leasing company to switch out his silver Mercedes
every six months with a new, identical model — just another of the
complicated and expensive ways Jobs thought differently. |

别那么肯定。JOBs的工资只有1块钱。如果是公司给租的车，这可是要报成收入的。

That's right. Anything your company pay for you that aren't 100% for
company use only is reportable.
The private jet mentioned above may not have been reportable because Jobs
use it exclusively for company purpose.
