My RX-8 from space thread

This thread is for people to post pics of their car from space!

I found my car on http://maps.google.com -- just type in your address (home, office, etc) then look around. The images used by google are collected from different sources. There's no way to tell how recent your area will be in their system. It could be months old, or it could be years old. Luck of the draw.

Here's my silver RX-8 at the office next to a M3:



I like this spot because no one else parks there (long walk to the front door) and there's a lot of security cameras around the dishes.

Having your roof peppered with satellite dishes would guarantee you hi-res shots.

Wow, the pic of my house is at least 2 years old. It shows my husband's Suburban in the driveway, which sat there for 4 months after he died August 2005, and I let the bank repossess it in December.

yeah.. my house is now 3 years old. The image on google shows it before there were any houses in the area, so it's 4-6 years old..

There's my Ti-gray 8 right where it should be. Backed into it's slot as usual. It's in the center of the picture and reflection off the sunscreen makes it look like it has two white eyes! That's the Mazda row. Usually there is an MX5 and a Speed6 next to me, but they must have left early for the day....the bastards! The car across from me is a miata.
Nobody else is allowed in our row and we defend it!


Don't know if this is gonna work, so I may have to just post a link to the image!




And one a bit further away.
