This is about Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Apple and former CEO of Apple.
It is said that Steve Jobs loved sports cars and owned a Porsche 911, but what surprised me this time was that he changed his Porsche 911 every six months.
He didn't seem to talk much about this, so people around him thought that he probably replaced his car every time it got scratched (though that's an amazing story, too), but the real reason behind this was that. Apparently it was different.
By the way, Steve Jobs changed his car every six months to the same ``black 911 convertible''. As expected, the clothes were the same every time, and I guess there was a commitment (no need to think about it) that the 911 was always a black convertible.
The period of replacing the 911 every six months spanned an astonishing several decades.
Now, the reason why he changed his car every six months for several decades is because he hates license plates.
What does this mean in Japan? Apparently, at the time, in the state of California in the United States, it was allowed to not wear a license plate for six months after first owning a car. That's it.
Therefore, Steve Jobs, who hated license plates, ``signed a contract to lease a new car every 180 days'', which allowed him to keep his 911 without a license plate.
Ah, I guess it was a replacement or a lease agreement.
Steve Jobs didn't give his daughter a Porsche 911
Her daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, watched as Porsche 911s were replaced every six months, and wished she could give him one of the 911s being replaced. It seems that.
By the way, even this Lisa said that she thought that her father, Steve Jobs, changed his car every six months because he was ``changing it because it was damaged.'' *Description in the memoir “Small Fry”
However, when she asked, ``Can I take that car (the car that is being taken away) the next time I exchange it?'', she clearly replied, ``No way. You won't receive anything.''Absolutely not. You're not getting anything,) and was refused.
Furthermore, Steve never gave his daughter a 911, but he gave a Porsche to a salesman (Craig Elliot) who sold more Macintoshes than anyone else in America.
It seems that the actual gift he received was not a black 911 convertible, which he replaced every six months.
It seems that Steve Jobs later switched from the Porsche 911 to the Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG, and he also changed cars every six months.
Of course, the only thing I replace each time is the same model and the same color...
It was a story about ``replacing cars'' that showed Steve Jobs' various commitments.

I'm Rika, the author of this article. Ever since Porsche 911 became my favorite car, I've become totally addicted to Porsche, and I can't stop loving Porsche, so I started this blog. My favorite cars are 911 Carrera (991.2), 911 Carrera Cabriolet (992.1), and 911 Carrera T (992.1).
