Mine was in the garage when the Google car went by. You'll have to contact the NSA for the shot of my garage contents to see my van.

Here's mine before I bought it (just over a year ago now, wow!). It sat in this lot for about 7 years before I got my hands on it. I can't find anywhere else. you can just barely make it out on the right side of the frame there

My wife's car in the driveway, and you can see the ass end of our van on the street side (the green blob).


Here is my childhood home with 'Big Blue', our second van. Image is about 5 years old (Mom lost the house in the Banking Scam BS with Wells Fargo Evil or Very Mad ).

We were testing the A/C in the cars you see in the pic.

I hid mine under a big white tarp with “ BING” written on top.

Google just showed empty space “intentionally left blank”

Not Google but a neat aerial look at mine. I went to the county yesterday to investigate a building permit and they sent me to an office for a plat of our land. The guy brought up our lot on two screens, one in map form and the other in overhead shots. He says they do this every year or so, usually in winter to minimize tree cover. This one is from March 2018 and you can see the Westy in the driveway with my wife's CR-V.
