We’ve always wondered why Steve Jobs’ Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG didn’t have a licence plate. Did he think he was above the law? Was he doing it to be different? Maybe! But how did he get away with it? Easy. His cars were leased.
If you ranked the things in life that Jobs seems perfectly content to ignore, licence plates would be up there with disabled parking spaces, three-piece suits and customer demands. The proof, as it were, is all over Flickr.
You probably paid a bit too much for your car, but you know what would really be the cherry on top of that upgraded paint job? A mini electronic advertisement that’s completely out of your control!
In response to this morning’s Google Car post, tipster George sent through a pic of this Mercedes with Linux licence plates. Considering the Merc would cost a lot more than the Holden, does that mean that Linux is better than Google?
