I'll play.

Driveway under construction. If you zoom in you can see on the left a Syncro in the back, behind the 92 EV, and on the right my 97 diesel Transporter, and behind that pile of dirt is a 90 Westy Multivan -- see the blue roof?

I get the previous owner moving out after our purchase (i bought my house off a buddy), He is looking right at the camera carrying boxes out, pretty funny.

but i had quite the reminder of the 30 tons of rock I moved out of the yard last year when i zoomed up to aerial view. glad its gone but my back still hurts.

I need them to come back and update pictures to show off the toys

Actually, Google caught my Westy the day I pulled the engine! You can see it on the ground underneath the van - just barely - but you can see it.

This would be a good database for broken down travelers to get some help. I don't have an iphone but it sounds like an iphone application waiting to happen...

Those are some good eyes there, mister.

I never would have spotted the mysterious second Westy if I hadn't known to look for it.

That was our neighbors around the corner. Nice folks. Unfortunately, they moved a couple of years ago.

Hate to dig up old threads, but I still get a kick out of it. When this thread was new, my city wasn't up yet, but it is now, though with a pretty old photo. Here I am working on a bracket for a side trim piece before I painted it all with bedliner..

This is so cool, but scary at the same time.

Mine isn't on Google (yet, I'm sure), but my neighbor's is:

What does the google vehicle look like? I saw a mini van the other day with about fifty little black things attached to the roof. Is that it?

The google cars are usually small hybrid types around the main campus at least. They have a roof rack with a tall stalk with the camera mounted to it. I've seen lots of them for years, but never a van. Your area might use different cars though. Here is a example-
