Default Passed By A Google Earth Truck The Other Day

I don't know what the refresh rates are for Google Earth Street View content, but me and my LS are sure to be in the next batch of updates.

Now I've just gotta remember exactly where I was when I passed by it...

I was standing on the light and saw the google truck, stick my head out of the window to stay visible.
Unfortunately for people that want to be more popular, they blur the faces.
Though you could still see it was me.
In a couple months it appeared on google maps, but, much to my dismay, it's been taken off now.
So make sure to make a good screenshot if you see yourself there.

I find it amusing that Google map trucks/cars are regularly driving around So. Cal. The area is well covered by them that updates in the year are There are some rural areas that don't show up except for Google Earth sat pictures.

It's all about the money. You can't make money filming bare farm ground. Sattelites however, pick up everything.
