They did Port Washington too... but according to the date on the sign at our True Value it was in September so I'm no where to be found. I knocked on Wang's front door but he wasn't home either. :rolf

The picture I saw showed a beat up Safari van with a big huge camera unit on the roof. They drive it around taking pictures.

02-12-2008, 04:48 PM
Hmmm but here's another site saying that they use a beetle with a compact camera unit. The Safari van seems more likely.

Couldn't locate my cars anywhere at the locations I lived at. It appears my office picture was taken on a weekend, no cars around :) . My parents house appears to have my old Cavalier in the driveway, faded blue paint, etc....thing is I got rid of that car back in September of 06'. My old apartment I had two vehicles outside, nothing....hmm. Wonder how many different dates were used for pics in our area. The ones I've looked at all appear to be in early spring or late fall.

Got my place here in Port. Nice summer/fall shot, surprised you don't see me and the boys out playing in the yard.

It would be funny as hell to get a heads up that they are coming down the road and hang a full mooner in the picture window. lol

Yeah, that's great! I gotta pull the Mustang out on Thursday for a new garage door/ opener install while I'm at work. I'll have to clean it up good when I pull it back in Thursday evening.

You can put it in my Mom's garage for the day if you need to.

Well if I have to wait until then, you better be helping me clean it.

I appreciate the offer Josh, but with all the salt on the roads, it's probably better if I just park it in front of the house with a cover on it. Cool of you to offer though.

You think I would let you drive it with all the snow and salt on the roads??

I totally understand, isn't there more snow on the way too? I just figured at least that way it would be safe for sure.

Nah, Not really. It's somewhat creepy. But it's not like you can see in windows or read liscence plates or anything like that.

If somehow they got it too where it was always at real time, then yes i think it would be wrong.

One of my friends that I served with works for Northrup Grumman in there defense technology division. He has access to there real time satalite feed. Just like the google thing but its obviously real time or close to it. Has like a 30 sec delay to it. I know ive mentioned this before but it goes along with this thread. The technology truly is amazing.

Hehe, funny.

Finally found a car of mine, at work (LeSabre) but you'll need to flip the pic around about 180 degrees. Pretty up close and personal since I parked on the street! There was construction last summer when the pic was taken.
