I've not seen one of these cars before. Have any of you?

I saw one driving the other way down a street in the town I used to live in, a town that doesn't have street view (yet). With any luck my car will forever be immortalized.

Also, I'm about ready to give up the internet until someone assures me I'll never have to read any variation of the word "pwn" ever again.

It was nice knowing you Laminar.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

I think the MacNN Lounge has already accomplished that.

In any case.....That's a pretty aggressive Google driver. They have completely bypassed my neighborhood, which is nominally "gated", though against Google's policy they went ONTO Ft. Sam Houston (also "gated" but really seriously) and even posted street-view data of the post. For a while, anyway...

Speaking of immortalized, this red 300ZX seems very familiar. (Worst apartment ever)

Someone should follow that car closely and moon the camera all the way (a passenger of course).

Google has a shot of mine sitting in the driveway. They were kind enough to blur the license plate, although that's probably public information anyway.
