Default Google Maps got my 928

Their street level program caught my 928 in the driveway. Srange feeling, seeing all your stuff on the web like that!

I dunno how to embed the viewer, so here's the link:

Umm. That's a little cool and a little scary. Had no idea this technology was out there.

Does look exceptional, might fit in the A$$ picture thread.

A coincidence that this happened soon after I drove by your house?

(runs to look for hidden cameras on my 928)

I was lucky the day they did my hood, all the garage doors were closed! I would NOT have been happy showing off all six of my babies bottoms to the world via Google Maps!

Due to complaints about people being shown in these "street view" pics, The Great Goog has developed software that will replace people's faces with generic/stock faces. They are a very privacy-conscious company - if you call or write to them to edit the car out of the pic, they probably will (when they get around to it).

Ohio State and Google coordinated on these maps so we can spy on Michigan football.

And folks look at me like I have seven heads when I tell them that I don't let 928s sit outside.
