    The Goog has come to our sleepy town... I saw a street view today while looking at a house for sale. I hope they miss our stupid little road... or else my car collection will be one view for all...

    us, too!

    here's Vicky parked on the street. The bldg with the white roof and the octagonal skylight is her branch of the Boston Public Library.

    the yellow really sticks out

    Nice job, Brian. I couldn't find it at first from the link. Then I got it. It's only visible from one angle.

    From the posted link, hit birds eye view, then rotate clockwise once, then zoom in.

    Yeah, I was trying to copy that view directly into my post, but couldn't figure out how. Thanks for the directions...

    I would have thought that we'd be able to see those tires of yours from the sky, Brian!

    those are the street tires, the rims with the big tires are black

    it is amazing that you can see all that detail, though...

    My VX finally made it to GoogleEarth streetview!!! SWEET!
    They even blurred my plate for me even though I still don't understand why anyone would want that!

    I found my VX where I used to work. You can see the cooler on the rack on the back.

    These are true satellite photos of the same two locations where I found aerial photos. The black hood insert stands out from space.





    I'm still looking for my VX at a third location.

    Found mine when from when I came home from college during Christmas 2006. It also shows where I acquired my love to all things vehicular (all though the front driveway seems empty...) There are three buildings at my folks house: House (w/ garage), pool house (w/garage) and a giant garage! The lowest one has parking for 9 and includes a lift. The pool house garage has an oil pit. You can kinda make out the green VW that I have built up as well.

    I was messin' 'round and found some much better quality satellite photos of my VX at work. Always keep your VX lookin' good 'cuz ya never know when these photos of your VX are gonna be taken.

    My VX is in the center of each shot at three different levels of zoom-







    That's Tim in the red Ford truck who parked next to me. He got there after me 'cuz I NEVER park right next to someone.

    This time I was using http://www.satelliteviews.net.

    And of course, also try to find the close up bird's eye view like the first post in this thread, if you haven't tried already. http://www.bing.com/maps

    Give it a try to find your VX or house or whatnot.
