Default Google Maps "Street View" your XF in drive?

Anyone have their Crossfire in their drive when the filming truck/car drove by to get the "street view" for their address?

OMG.......no! Garage only!!!!!!!

I don't think they have been by here yet anyhow! (If I knew when they were coming by I'd do something stupid, like sit on the front lawn with a six-pack, and giving them the "bird"!)

Google maps is crazy!! Since being accepted to Volvo SAFE, I have to move to AZ in a few months and I've started looking for a place to live, and the detail Google maps has is incredible.

Takes stalking to a whole 'nother level...

Our town still looks like a fuzzy green patch on Google. I couldn't get detail on my block let alone my driveway BUT if it gets better you'll see 2 Crossfires there!
Apkano, that's my dream job when I retire. Become a cantankerous old fool who sits on his front porch & bitc_es at the neighborhood kids for walking on his lawn! Sweet!!!

Don't you mean an cantankerous old fool who sits on his front porch cradling his shotgun?

Street View gives a fairly clear picture of my street but the addresses don't match up with the residences. It also doesn't give a view of the end of my building (I live in a townhouse) so I can't see if my Crossfire is parked there. But I assume my car would not be there considering how few cars are in sight. Fortunately zooming makes the picture incredibly blurry so one can't see my ratty drapes!

Since the street view was obviously done on a work day I took a look at my work address to see if my car was pictured. Alas, looks like work was photographed on a weekend.

LOL.
....and a fiddle? Nah, maybe just a cane to complete the picture; it's not quite THAT rural around here!
