Guys, if you click and hold the left mouse button you can have almost a 360* view.
I did it with an old address and saw the car that was doing this, a big black circle blocked out the equipment.
This is getting to big brotherish.

While looking up an address yesterday on Google maps I noticed a new feature called street view. I started playing around with it and put in my home address. I was blown away when I see myself standing in my drive way getting ready to wash my truck. I never saw the picture car drive by either. I don''t know how much of the country has this option but it is a trip! You can cruise around most of LA and OC. Check it out!
My first car(on the road) was a '62 chevy with an 8' stepside.
I miss that old beast!

My truck is a 63 short stepside with a 350/350 drive train. I bought it from the original owner in 1989. I keep it so I won't miss it, I know I would kick myself from now on if I sold it.

That is pretty wild...I did one for my house, but it's not accessible on the map, but did do one where my boyfriend lived before he moved here and Smoke is in the driveway. He hasn't lived there for several months though.
Here's where you can access street view

Probably decided they paid to much for the property
and it probably has reduced in value (given the current state of the housing market
), so they thought they would try to recapture some of the loss by sueing Google.
IMO, by the looks of the property, they did pay to much. But, I'm not a housing market expert.

Looks to me like the $25,000 they are seeking would be welcome to fix the place up. I don't think google's pictures diminish the value of their property near as much as the "wooden back door" and what appears to be normal wear and tear and disrepair that needs some TLC.
