  1. Is that what those cars really look like? I kinda figured they had to have some kind of rig on top to do what they do.
    I wonder how you get a job cruising around and uploading info. Some areas, it’s amazing what is there. I live in Southwest Wyoming and was very suprised to see my house and cars and the detail. Some of it is freaky.
    Anyway–Cool post. Keep up the stellar work!!

  3. Be careful where you drive that thing. You might meet these guys: (rotate the street view).
