I just happened to be outside when this unusual looking vehicle was coming down the street. Excuse the poor cell phone picture, but if you are like me and have never seen the camera car that shoots the street view images for Google, here is one of them.

you should check your current street view, then see how long it takes Google to update their pics, and also if the quality is any better.
I wonder why they are redoing their imagery? (unless you don't yet have a street view for your neighborhood)

No way! That's hard to believe... That thing must have a million miles on it...

Shampoo sounds like an unfortunate name for a hair product.

I highly doubt that. I was in New York a couple a days ago and saw one there.

There are 4 million miles of roads in the United States alone. I think you are very mis-informed about the number of Google cars being used.
