Google Street View your TL

You guys ever try to find your TL on street view? The only place I could find mine was at work. Crappy pic, had to zoom but at least I found it.



Post em up if you find them....the search can be fun

This would happen by chance only. Not everybody's car get's to be photographed. There's already been one guy who's posted his address, with his car being clear as day in the middle of the picture.

Crazy that street view, i imagine someone gets paid to drive through towns with a 360 camera mounted to their car?

I always look on google earth to see if i can find my car on the satellite pictures, but this is the first time i've seen this street view camera.

their pic of my baby is sitting in the driveway, just washed and all shiny- (proud papa)
at least they picked a good day to drive thru~
pic taken from one house down, so a nice side view of the rims and 3/4 view of the car

There are several hundred vans driving around the country all the time- with 4 onboard GPS units and lasers to measure street widths and distances, 5 cameras for getting street signs and business names, gas stations etc...and your car on occassion

Then it goes into computers to sort out and make updates for GPS units
How They Do It is where I learned about them
It takes 2 people, 1 drives and the other makes sure the computers are all working

Hey, isnt that your car at the strip place??? lol

I've seen people I know sitting in front of their homes while the van drove through, pretty neat.
I know they updated the google earth pics not to long ago, at least for my area. Up until recently my house, town, was not on street view but now it is. Looks like they drove by in late summer.
I wonder if Google somehow makes money off this??

I would have to actively be driving for it to be seen. It is garaged at home as well as at work.

Here's my old GSR at my work


And my wife's S2000 at her work


At home they are always in the garage, so no luck there...

Thanks for the thread, I killed some time at work and found my beater car parked on the street. Didn't find my TL since it is garaged.

no street view for my street yet. There is an aerial shot of it at work. Looks like a black rectangle.
