So I remember the first time I look at imagery of my house in Tennessee on Google Maps, I could tell it was taken while I was living there because both my neighbor and I had RVs parked behind our houses. Below my house is the middle one.

So today I am getting ready to take a quick trip from Kansas to Oklahoma and I'm messing around with directions and I notice the street view feature of Google Maps. Below is an image of my second house that we've been in just over a year at the end of a culdesac with two of my cars parked in front.

I can't believe it, but google has street view of my parents' house from when I lived there.. I wish I had been outside to see the van...

JediGandalf, nice digs.

Wookie06, Trans Am or firebird?

On another note, I found my old house although it was poininted incorrectly at first. This is still disturbing. I feel, violated on some levels? I am trying to recall a time when I saw someone in a strange van taking photos of my street....

I live in Manhattan right now. I saw the camera icon in the directions before but I never botherhed clicking. Still, I found it interesting that someone bothered to take pictures where I live. I love all the tinfoil comments, by the way.

Trans Am. By the way, all V8 engines were available in the Firbird. All Trans Ams are Firebirds, also, but the reverse is not always true.

For reals? I live right outside manhattan.

On topic though: My house isnt visible on street view. Too many trees in the way!

I randomly discovered my old roommate's RX8 parked on the street when they added pictures around here a few months back.
