Google street view car chase
 
On a nice spring day last March, I took the scenic route back to work and spotted the Google Street View car. So, I gave chase... :burnrubber: and kept up with him just far enough back to make sure that I was in his camera view. This guy was definitely on a mission to capture as many roads as possible and wasn't worried about the speed limit. That's the other reason I take the back roads ;). Well the day finally came that Google posted the images.:happyanim:

Sweet!
The Google view of my street used to show me washing my car in the laneway but it has been updated since then and now it is just an empty driveway.

Ugh, love the show to death, but the theme music is like nails on a chalkboard with those screaching violins....


Get's you in the mood for all the incoming character deaths I suppose.

I can only imagine all the equipment. That would be an awesome job just loading up on coffee and sitting on your ass all day. Oh wait, that's what I do at my new job every day except the view never changes.


Man, I miss working off of that road. The 3 mile commute was the best part of my day. I averaged 18 mpg for 3 years. Now that I work 37 miles from home, my average has climbed to 30 mpg and my odometer reading has tripled.

With the streets this empty, I can only hope that they keep my car on there for a while.

I was hoping to see a wild police car chase on Google-street view lol.

Did you check google every day to see when they updated it? Haha, pretty cool though, I definitely want to try this if I see one!
