That's what I'm talkin about.

So sad to see him go.
He was definitely ahead of his time that changed the way people think. A true genius and visionary.

7 billion dollar net worth and still choose the AMG. Gotta love it. The no plate thing is so badass. No cop is going to pull him over anyway. RIP.

RIP Steve Jobs. Truly a genius, visionary and even a revolutionary (his impact of technology of us, people with ipods and small portable advanced tech etc.)

And he drove an SL55 AMG. Fellow AMG owner and SL55 driver. RIP
