Damn, if you could zoom in ONE more time I bet you could see my 914 on jack stands (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
They are pretty recent pictures. My high school is post construction, which means its within the last 2 years. |

now it would be really cool if you could type in "all 914s parked in driveways" and it searches and gives you maps of all 914s in the US that were parked in driveways that day ...

Did you guys check out area 51? This is just outside north of Vegas. Can anyone explain what the triangle with the circles is?

I was looking at this a few weeks ago. Very cool. I love how you can switch back and forth between the maps and satellite images and you get the exact same view - but with the maps you get the street names.
I looked up my work, and noticed that the parking lot was empty - so I figured it must have been taken on a weekend. I guess Andy's pic of Candlestick confirmed that. Would'a been cool if GGR was having an autocross that day. Here's my house. I didn't even know the dog park that I live next to had trails in the shape of a dog bone until I saw this picture. Ha Ha.
