Google map....Good timing

I went to look at my house on Google map and what perfect (acidental) timing. I pulled my car out to clean out the garage one day and Google caught me...too bad it wasn't their street view car! Anyone else seen their car on google or any other source they did not expect?

My father's C4 was caught outside my place the day after we got back from The Dragon by Google.

I once thought I saw my car on a Wanted poster, but it turns out it was another vehicle.

.
ps: seriously, dude! Because of your thread I decided to Google Street Map my street. Corvette's not around but there's the wife's Integra - live and in color! Scary.

the last round they caught my Escape and trailer in the driveway, this pass the driveway is totally empty, and that's highly unusual!

Mine's since been updated but the original pic had a black & white cop car in front of my house as it was driving down the street.

Mine's without vehicles...cool that you got yours in. IN a similar vain I googled a shopping mall here in Florida and it just so happened when google took the aerial view there was a huge traffic backup on I75...a van in the median perhaps wrecked....the backup was huge....struck me funny how it was captured...bet no one who was dead in traffic even knows they are on the google image.
