I was headed up to the kids school (now in Jr. High!) and came to a three way stop. Across from me was one of the google maps cars. It's very recognizable, trust me.

Now I just have to wait for it to update.

Yes, very recognizable. I was looking out the window and saw it go past our house a few years ago. Too bad I had just come in off the front porch or I would have gotten my picture on Google.

I think they use different ones. The one I saw was actually a van.

To my knowledge, Google has never used a van. There are several competitors around, though.

Funny this came up, I saw one three times last week! Looked like this:

They sub out to regular people in some places. If you get the gig, you use your car. Could be anything.

Source? That is expressly against what I found (I looked into driving for them one summer...the pay was terrible).

All the ones I have seen were either an impress just like that one or a Prius.

Google caught me a couple years ago. I'm the fat guy in the white shirt behind the bus shelter. Look up 201 Allen Street, New York, NY on Google earth

Google street view of my address shows a picture of me loading my truck, with a couple of cool cars in the yard.

You know I think I like your idea better!!

Of course if he was so excited to achieve immorality that he started a thread here then he needs to get out more. I'm having a bad day if I don't achieve it several times.

I read "immorality", too.

We'll just have to wait for the latest Google Earth update to make a decision; or not.

Yerg... all the small econoboxes look the same to me. I think it was a toyota.

It did have this wrap on it, however. Wasn't a Subaru, however. I'm sticking to Toyota.

You'll need to log in to post.
