It's still an old picture of my neighborhood and surrounding areas. On mine my Camaro isn't at my house so it was before Apri. That and also my buddies Camaro isn't on the side of his house so it's even older than that.

wow, all I can think of when hearing this is that if there are pictures of a large percentage of people's neighborhoods available to the general public for free...just imagine what our and other governments have at their disposal. I'll have to look at this, i can't believe it's close enough to recognize different model cars.

They haven't updated the picture(s) that have my house in a few years so I can't see mine.

Do a search around the Pittsburgh/Cleveland/Sandusky general vicinity. There are TONS or third gens around that area. And most of the dudes driving them definitely wear ******s.
