They need to get their facts straight -- the 06 TSX does not have live traffic reports.
Unless they're talking about turning on the radio to your local news station?!

I've always had a secret admiration for Larry E; I think he's actually much more of a renegade and inconoclast than Steve Jobs has ever been (and probably more creative, definitely more ruthless). Larry E's car is a good fit, and it is where I would see many of us if we had Ellison's wealth, and we were looking for a daily driver. hmmm
Bill's Porsches? A bit disappointing (yawn), but he probably has an underground-garage worth's of cool cars, and driving a Porsche is his way of being unpretentious, in a relatively low-key populist sort of way ("Hey - did you see that nerdy guy who passed us in that Porsche? Wasn't he exceeding the speed limit?").
Jobs is a poseur, but my kind of poseur: the Merc may be his car-of-the-week ("car-of-the-week" is were I REALLY see many of us being if we had that kind of wealth).
But Ballmer? Yikes! Dude, if you want to go econo-domestic, at least check out the CTS. I'm starting to understand that monkey dance Youtube thing. (Just kidding Mr. Ballmer - Like all Canadians, I think you are an inspiration).

It's only a "fix it" ticket here in California. You just get your friend/relative/whatever who is a cop to sign the back of the ticket and continue to drive with no plates...

I read somewhere that Jobs actually has a special barcode in his back windshield that allows him to drive without plates (apparently, people were always stealing his plates). From where I read it, his wife has the same setup.
