I requested that Google blur my house out. I don't want to advertise that my Vanagon sits unattended in the driveway during the middle of the day. Google does enough to violate my privacy and my data already; I am grateful for what little control over my privacy I have left.

Friend of mine was looking at houses in the area and was scoping one of them out on street view. He said that van looks familiar.

Google updated my neighborhood.
My Van is there in the driveway.
Considering that my car is street side of the Van indicates it was taken on a weekend.
The deck stairs ..... 2022.
The weeds in the field...... late Summer.
The shadows..... 10ish in the morning.

Google hasn't ever done street view on my street, probably not enough houses to make it relevant?

I just got an email notification that this thread has been updated. Haven't posted in years, but this was relevant.

This was the fourth and final time the '85 will appear. I moved it into the driveway last fall to get the transmission out of it before finally letting it go. StreetView paid us a visit while it was there.

I can pinpoint the days mine was taken because the van was only in the driveway for two weeks, and the trash is out - so that's only four days it could have happened.

Google can’t but being a weekend in the Summer it was highly likely it was either scrambled eggs or eggs over easy on toast.

I've seen these vans on the grounds of San Quentin State Prison for many years. Any idea if the owner is here on theSamba?

We moved several years ago and last time I checked the Google car had not spotted our Westy here but checking just now I find a four-year-old photo on Street View showing our place looking a bit less finished than now, with my old highroof Dodge camper project and our old Mopar minivan in addition to the camper and the daily driver, and my bride working on the stone wall.

l just looked me up on google street view, and it has 3 different images, depending upon how far up the street you go, one has only one van, the second has 3, the third, has 3 parked in different spots.

at my house, up on the ramps....not an unusual position on several of the pics here Confused Laughing

I like how it got the bird in the front yard. Would have been even cooler with a roadrunner which would not be unusual actually.

Wondered about my house and lo and behold these came up. The work on the road across the street was finished two weeks ago and so these are really fresh.
