While viewing the link wondering if those google images have location data attached to images? That'd be a big negative IMO, due to potential theft, etc.
there are all sorts of other google map "bloopers" with geotags, I guess it just depends.

I'll be on the lookout from now on, haha

Check this out. I have seen it in a local Lowes lot last few days. You can have one too for $390k for a used one. I love it. cool to check them out on their website. On a Ford 550 or 650 chassis. Everything runs off the 90 gal diesel tank. Multiple alternators instead of a separate generator. Solar array optional as well. 4wd Panic Room.

Saw this, among so many other priceless scenes, on my way home today. Still running and smelled like beer, but nobody home:

Wow....I think I may know the driver. I had a friend I used to work with who was a serious alcoholic. During one of his 'AA periods' and he was in a testifying mood, he told me that he had once wrecked his car, rolled it over and walked home before the cops could get there. The next day he found out he had a broken neck.

Note tallboy can standing in corner of windshield. In one of the other Pics you can see streaks from where his dirty shoes (or underwear) dragged across the windshield on the way out. He gone.

No jail. Successful method here is flee. "They can't hold you if they can't catch you." Deny you were driving the vehicle or say someone stole it. They won't even bother to charge you. Unlikely they will go to impound to get it back, but some do. I noted capless prescription cough Med. bottle in rubble as well. There are so many kinds of stupid in the Pic that I can not help but laugh when looking at it. My 11 Yr. old daughter took Pics. for me. She should be a journalist.

that is hilarious

the other day I was trying to get across town during rush hour taking one of my shortcuts, and traffic was taking way longer than normal. turns out there was an abandoned truck at an intersection.

The blinkers were on, but they were really dim, so Im thinking it had been there a long time

We had a nice weekend for cruising here in northern Wisconsin. I took my car out for probably it's last ride for the year on Saturday and saw many others doing the same. The family and I went for a nice bike ride yesterday and spotted this 2+2 on the way. It looked like a VERY nice restoration.

Went by the classic dealer close to my parents house this past weekend, saw some pretty cool cars, especially the Aussie Falcon









They had a couple of pretty nice trans ams, but I am partial to the 77/78



(right number of pedals too, haha)


This Olds was really nice


This Caddy just blew me away, looks so mean



and then later on the way home I hear the unmistakable sounds of a flat plane cranked V8

Cool Spotted one of these today

A extremely attractive young lady turned in front of me driving one of these;
saw it faster than I could even think of snapping a picture:
"2014 Ferrari 458 Light Blue" WOW!!!

A few Pontiacs from cars and coffee last weekend...







This T/A had a tag on the dash stating it was restored by Trans Am Specialties in Florida.



Super nice '68, Greg Reid-style.





And then there was this hooptie

Nice Ken. I kinda like the tuxedo interior on 'my style'. I thought about it at one time now I know what it looks like....and as always, the Voodoo is looks 'the business'. Cosworth Vega next to it...Cool. Any pics of that?

No pics of the Cosworth, but I chatted with that guy quite a bit. His car was all original - not sure if call it a survivor, but it was a solid driver. '76 5 speed car. He's pretty active in the Cosworth club and is putting together a convention for next summer (reminded him it will be their 40th anniversary). Turns out the club makes a lot of repro parts for the cars. Kinda cool.
