Topic: Ego Surfing

So I was screwing around a little at work today and happened to look up my house on street view.  The Mazdarita spends 98% of it's time behind a fence or elsewhere but it shows up in this picture.  The XJ12 next to it is currently out gallivanting around Death Valley on the Lemons Rally.  Who'd a thunk it?

Re: Ego Surfing

I was talking to my son's coach after practice yesterday and he say the mini shirt I was wearing and he was like, "There's this guy who has a whole bunch of those just around the corner from me." He goes on to describe the scene of all these cars in the driveway and these different colored minis and an ambulance...

I had to tell him that he needs to get out more. I moved from that house about 4 years ago...

I just had to check--> the street view and satellite images have been updated. I sincerely felt very sorry for the family who bought that house because I can only imagine their friends' reactions when they googled their new address.

Interesting timing on this picture. First of all, it's almost a year old (September 2015) and the fleet has changed somewhat since then. That white W124 Benz belongs to one of my teammates. At the time it had a blown head gasket, but it has since been repaired and then destroyed again in a different way. The same guy now owns my blue W123 pictured next to it. The Race Dart is in the garage; that other '64 Dart is the art/parts car. This is also before Bob bought a house with a tiny backyard and I took over storing the car trailer.

The interesting part (to me) is that if you look down the street, you see recycle bins on the curb which are only picked up every two weeks. It's also damn near high noon if you look up at the position of the sun, and yet my daily driver G8 is parked in front of the house, as are my two roommates' cars. That means there are only two possible days this picture could have been taken, and the most likely one is the exact day I lost my job last year!

That black and white car RULES!

I won't post it here, but I can see that I'm home in Street View. Joy. I'm just glad it's hard to see any defining stickers on my road car from Street View's view.

A while ago (several years - hahaha at the bookmarks), though, the Bunnywagen was visible from space:
