Default Ever spot a 928 on Google Maps? I saw this...

Interesting to see what looked to be a euro tail light (in the fascia) and side markers on this 1986 928s.

Saw this while searching for something on Google Maps.

What have you seen or come across?

After our recent norcal928 fun drive, a Google StreetView car drove by our parked 928s at the Moss Beach Distillery, 309 Ocean Blvd, Moss Beach, CA. So far the pics haven't made it on Google Maps; not sure, if they ever will.

This is where we were parked:

This is where we hung out when the StreetView car drove-by:

Not the 928, but the google car did pass me recently while in our cayenne while picking up items for the 928.

This has been my favorite Porsche to date that I've found on Google Maps. Sold him some parts and checked the map to see if it was residential or commercial and found this.



Not a 928 but pretty awesome being captured wrenching on your Porsche on the driveway...

Must be interesting for someone to live next door to the guy holding the rake - the one who installed a delineation line down his lawn. Probably goes nuts over the car shop beside him

This photo is my home, but taken about three years ago when the car was still under major operation.





Then I noticed they caught me at work this year!
