Oh yeah, and my daughter, wife, dog and neighbour, and our big ugly gold Honda minivan ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Ramona was out helping the neighbours gardening, and Stef was working on our front garden - you can see her behind the tree if you maneouvre around.
Pretty cool:

That's great Christien!
My house made it as well.
The morning that Jim, Justin and I went to pickup RK at his house to make the trek to the Hershey Swap meet we had the Google mobile drive right by us, we were hoping that the van we were in would get picked up but I can't check to see if we made it or not as I can't recall the street we were on at the time.

Hey Christien, you don't live too far from a guy that I helped my brother-in-law pick up an engine from on Upper Paradise last Saturday and bring it back to Brampton. He bought a running (looks ok) 2.7L for his 77 targa from the guy for $1500. He also got the gearbox thrown in as well complete with an almost new clutch. The guy put a 3.0L in his car because he wanted more power and upgraded to a G50 for it and then rolled the old motor into his backyard shed. It's got upgraded hydro chain tensioners and a few other upgrades so between the new motor and a few parts off his old one (lots of leaks) he looks good to go for next driving season.
I'm trying to convince him to dump the early attempt at Porsche fuel injection that never worked well - everyone with a 2.7 needs a 'pop off' on the airbox because of the odd over rich condition blowing up the airbox housings with some regularity! I showed him an ad for a set of webers (they are back in business) that should really do the job quite well. He hasn't any air pump's, reactors or cat's or crap like that so he's free to fool around and not worry about clean air tests. The only thing he should do for sure is a gearbox check/service before installing the one he bought. So I'll have a winter 'helper' project and maybe a new Rennlist member next spring!

They are supposed to blurr out any license plates! Too bad your garage wasn't open Corey...then I could see what the Race Deck looks like

Yeah, it looks like they blurred out the plate on your 951, but not on our Honda. Maybe they only do it for higher-end cars. I don't really care that much.

Or they could just drive down the street and write the plate # down.
I do think it's a bit overly-concerned to be worried about thieves finding high end cars on street view to steal. It'd be much faster to just go to Yorkville with a pen and paper.
Now blurring faces of people coming into and out of the porno shop, that's another matter

My car stays hidden in the garage unless it is being driven, but street view still caught it. It must have been taken just as it returned from winter storage since it has the woody storage tires with D90's on it. Say goodbye to anonymity when someone looks up your street address.
