Google Streets

From the creators of google and google earth now comes google streets. Its pretty much a way you can zoom in on nearly every street on the planet and check out what is there. I looked at my house and can't see my car. Has anyone on here used this and seen yourself or your Mini?

Boredom strikes again!

Still havent seen one Mini

I just happen to be getting in mine when the Google street view car drove by taking photos. Those are my white tennis shoes under the door. They really black out the rest of the image. It took them about 6 months from when they took the photo before they updated their website with my neighborhood.

When they took a picture of my street I still had my previous car. It was sitting in the driveway. If they had driven by recently, they probably wouldn't see my MINI. It would be in the garage or on the streets.

My car's not in my photo either - I must have been at work. But I can tell approximately when they took the photo - my rhododendrons are still in bloom, but fading, putting it in early May.
