If it's green, its mine. Mostly. This is 2 years old by the looks of the driveway. Her truck is outside, so I'm guessing this was around winter 2015/2016 when I had dad's truck in for the transmission.

A quick look at Google Maps gives an understanding of why cars in my back yard aren't a problem.  My house is the one with the angled temp garage in the back yard and you can see the crusty project 1800ES against the fence.  I'm pretty sure this picture is at least 2 years old. Maybe three. My neighbor is to the south.  The red car tucked into a corner is a salvage title GTO he bought to swap into one of their GM A-bodies (they have a couple of them).

Street view. Oh look - the cursed E30... which I believe I rid myself of back in 2013:

Judging by the recycling bins, I'd guess this was taken on a Friday morning.

Spot the google street view car while you are driving and remember where it was. Then wait for it to show up online.

No street view, blue truck and now scrapped grey truck are visible, as is the sketchy trailer of doom and enabling. GTA, Mustang, Saturn, and all other cars are hidden by trees. The 280ZX was inside. Now the leaves are gone, as is the grey truck, and the GTA is inside with the 280ZX.

Casa spitfirebill.  You can't see the dead Spitfire under the tarp.

Yep. Truth be told, I had completely forgotten about seeing the camera car until this thread popped up, but clearly I'd made a mental note of the location, so I knew exactly where to look. Went to Google Maps and there it was.

I didn't play the game this year because work is just too busy. 

I will say my house looks pretty normal from the front, just a cookie cutter house in a cookie cutter neighborhood. Except for that strip of concrete that disappears behind the house and the odd little vehicle that is visible. 

The over head tells a different story. This is a pretty old shot though. The F350 and Alaskan camper are long gone, as is the FB. The white boat in the front drive is the Super Coupe. It's still around but in a transition phase. Not sure where it will end up. The blue thing behind the shop is the Jet Boat. There isn't a bus to be seen so this is at least 3 years old.

Wow, that's an awesome subdivision home - extra garage layout.  Very jelly.  If I was house searching and found that I think I would make an offer before ever going into the house.

Old photo, still doing work on the fountains and the ATV course, still finishing the man-cave out back.  Still no street view, gotta love gated private drives.

OK, just kidding (that's a neighbor's house).  My house is...

hidden behind a giant tree!

Got me Pinch, I was like "Holy crap, dude's got a spread!"

Ya there's more cars in the garage and behind the house when this pic was taken several years ago. Been thinning the fleet since then.

Maybe they're afraid to drive down dirt roads with their fancy camera cars.

I cheat. I open Google Maps in another browser, then clip the picture using Snipping Tool, copy the snip, Crtl-V/paste into the comment window. Quick and easy picture. At least with Windows.

I'm actually on there twice in my current town & at least one other place elsewhere in the world. Hopefully I'm confusing Skynet.

In person (behind the guy in the white shirt) - https://goo.gl/maps/36pXCPTPuo82 <-- for some reason it's really hard to get me to show up at that location. There's pretty much only one corner spot where this set of imagery is available, and you have to fiddle around to get it. I AM NINJA GHOST.

In car (probably obvious which car) - https://goo.gl/maps/K2CDPikfLxP2

Photo taken last summer.  No identifying vehicular elements in the shot.

My "victim" has an answer in his house shot.  That helps. :/

Apparently Earth is about 5 yrs old.  Dirt patch pre-Yuppie paradise.

Streetview is 2 yrs old.  Still shows my dearly departed Envoy.
