That's why I'm working in motorsports and not computer engineering

Re: Gates and his 959

I remember reading a bio on him a few years back and it spoke of his 959 and how he drove it.

If I remember correctly, they got diplomatic plates for them and were thus allowed to drive them for one or two years...at which time the plates expired, and the cars were stored.

I don't know if they had to have someone else 'own' them to do this or not.

The bio also spoke of a swimming pool full of girls from deja vu

Good times, I'm sure.
