Uncle Steve's Benz on Google Street View
You've no doubt noticed the addition of Google Street View to certain locales in the US. It provides street level pictures by means of roving Google vans (and cars). Anyway, they've now got a view of Waverly Steet in Palo Alto, which just happens to be the home of our favorite CEO, complete with license plate-free Mercedes. So courtesy of Google you too can engage in a little cyber-stalking. (Somehow I think I'm already regretting this post, but the public's got a right to know!)[via Digg]

Also (and I don't entirely doubt the barcode story, but I don't see documented facts in autoblog's post), it's extremely common to see cars without license plates in CA. New cars don't require them, as long as they have the proper temporary creds in the window. I was shocked by this when I moved here, but now it's just sorta fact.
I find it even more creepy that I wonder what is inside his wheely bin (pan to the right and down a little)...

If anyone is interested in barcodes, I'll be putting one up on eBay shortly.
#2: If you read the Autoblog link, old Stevo has had his plate stolen so many times that he's gotten permission from the State of California to have a barcode where his plate would normally be.
