So, I got a phone call this morning regarding google maps and my car. I guess they did a photo shoot of my 8 after I was done washing it.




It's a damn old picture because I still have my stockers on the 8.

See if you can find your car on street view.

gogogogogo!

 

Man somebody needs to stop being lazy and get their newspaper

 

Newspaper? LOL, that is a dying industry my friend!

 

lawlz you can see my car in my drive way as well... buts back when it was super stock.

 

you can see my track car because i had to pull it out into the street for a minute.

 

that is street view, an option inside of google map.

Here's my car from google maps. I won't have any from street view cause my car is never parked outside where google's street vehicle would drive by.

 

I wanna see pics of your cars people! That's the point of this thread! Screen shots now! gogogogogo

What's with all the satellites Mysql??

 

The satellites must show up because I hit the 'Satellite' button in google maps.

Also I'm not alone. There's a black M3 next to my car.


I like parking there. There are a dozen video cameras watching the dishes, so there is 24/7 recording of anyone who walks by or even looks at my car.

At the Office...

 

When does google update the maps? Because I can't find my car on my block nor can I get on my block.

 

there were 4 pics of it, must have been driving pretty slow, this was the clearest one

 

HAHAHA thats cool..

 

Thats awesome. They have most of San Antonio mapped already.

 

damn i must have been somewhere else....cool stuff tho. didn't know about that.

 

My neighborhood is too l33T. This is the closest you can get.

Still 3 miles away.

The rez of the pics has gotten a sh*t-ton better.
My house is still lo-rez, though. (They are a few years old, it seems.)

 

hmmm...my garage was closed, so I can't see my car...you can zoom right in on my windows though! I wish I knew when they were coming to my street...I'd have left my car out and mooned them from my window.

 

Who knew we'd be in the year 2008, with a thread about really shitty photos of our cars

 

ROFL ROFL ROFL

It is odd tho, I don't know when they took pictures of my street because
1. It was when I had my car, I bought it June of 2007.
2. My brother's car which was in the process of returning to stock during that summer was not in my driveway(Where did it go?) And the only time it was driving when my house had an American Flag had to be in June.

 

 

couldnt find mine... =(

one of the houses i checked wasnt even built yet, and at the other house my car was not there

 

make sure you are looking at street view and not map view. They are completely different. The overhead maps can be several years old. Street view is relatively recent.

 

this is kind of disturbing actually...too me atleast.

 

^why? The technology (Eyes in the sky, etc.) has been around a very long time, just not available for the public to see.

Google Street views take a very long time to produce. I'm waiting for them to come to Cape Cod someday. Although you'll most likely never see my car because 90% of the year it's in my garage. I work from home.

 

maybe disturbing was the wrong word. but it kind of creeps me out when the public can see all this stuff from their computer. eh, whatever...it's just me.

 

there is a link on google to have them take down any picture that you don't want up there.
