Ever since June 3 when John Mayer was pulled over in his rickety old Land Rover for not having a license plate, the "Wonderland" singer has been driving around town in Jennifer Aniston's cars.

"Obviously, she trusts him," a source tells E! "She lets him drive her car even though his car is parked at her house."

Mayer was given what police call a "fix-it ticket," meaning that within a certain time he has to show the California Highway Patrol he has rectified the crime we're calling plate-gate. Until then, Mayer isn't driving any of his four cars (a Porsche Cayenne, two Land Rovers, and a flashy GT Mustang) two of which lack license plates.

Swapping cars isn't the only commingling going on, obviously. Despite the fact that Mayer and Aniston haven't been dating long, they already appear to have influenced each other—or maybe even swapped personalities.

"Before, she was kind of ghost, but now she is out a lot more," a source tells E! "With her other relationships she has been a little more secretive, but this one she is not hiding."

As for Mayer, he has picked up a trademark Aniston trick of covering his face with a scarf in front of the paparazzi.

"Jen used to do that all the time and he never did," a source tells E! "She is clearly influencing him and vice versa." No biggie. We'll start worrying about their Freaky Friday personality swap when she launches a singing career and he becomes an out-of-the-closet thespian.
