They finally added my neighborhood to google streets, but the weird thing is the newest this picture could be is 2007 because thats the last time the 780 ran. In 2008 I put in in the back yard/garage and changed the wheels.

Nice shot!

They took down the street view on my street. You used to be able to see my late silver 242 in the driveway.

Nice! I found my old 245 on street view out in front of my old apartment in Portland a few days ago too. If you look closely, you can see my old Landcruiser at the end of the driveway too. Man oh man I miss both those cars!

That is weird too, but if you keep going down, it goes back to the street on the other side of his house, and shows the street line going right through it. It makes more sense if you know the place...
