New game, find your truck on Google Maps!
Some may know that google has a squad of VW Beetles that roam around the streets allover the US with cameras, building up their huge database of "Street View" Camera angles to help with finding directions. A nifty feature... One that often times has some hilarious results. Jalopnik has found car wrecks, shootings, and deer-road-kill on the street view cameras. But, I have something different. Find your 67-72 On Street View!
Here's how it will work. Goto http://maps.google.com/ and search your address, or any address where you figure your truck would be out in the open. Keep in mind the time frame on these pictures can be over a year old (still shows my truck before the winter bash I had getting it on the road). If/When you find your truck, you can either copy the link (and tell us which way to look) or post a screen shot, by hitting the Prt Scrn button on your keyboard and pasting the shot in Paint or any other image program, and uploading it. Come waste some time with me.. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: New game, find your truck on Google Maps!
I live in an apartment and they don't drive down into them, at least not around here, not yet, so you can only see aerials of my truck.

Here's mine. Based on the garbage can and the recycle bin, the picture was taken on a Thursday.
