Might have been done before, but if it has I haven't seen it
Wife noticed Google had recently updated their images and caught a pretty decent photo of my car in the process.

Anyone elses car looking good on Google maps ?

The project car is tucked up in the garage, so just the wife's Swift (now gone) and my van visible.

Our old house was in a cul de sac and when the last set of Google images were taken it captured our next door neighbours chatting at the side of one of their cars.
Unfortunately the guy was burned to a crisp in that same car in a horrific accident shortly after while driving to work. Google images still show him with his face blurred for privacy rules, it's quite sad to think he'll be captured for eternity like that. I don't think his widow was aware he'd been caught on camera.

Nor mine - I can make out my cars on satellite though.

Last year I was in front of the Google Maps car as I was heading home for about a mile. I recognised it and me and my little Duster are caught for posterity heading up the driveway

Similar here, can see the entrance to the driveway from the road but the driveway and parking is behind the house so now view of the cars from the road.

Can see my old E Class at my old address though haha.

Our older Fiesta shows on street view in 2009 (on the move) and also 2012, 2014, 2015, 2019 and 2022 (parked) when it lived on the street; the last image must have been taken days before it was written off. It's replacement shows in 2023 but is unlikely to feature again as it now takes the place of my A8 outside our garage.

Neither of our two Rileys has been captured, they're both garaged though we have driven past a couple of Google cars on the road.

Embarrassing if you shouldn’t have been there. Not happened to me but one of our cars did unintentionally feature on a pub website.

Must have had my garage door open when the camera car came in , just selected it to have the house. / cars and open garage all blurred out , it’s easy sorted but irreversible.

One Fiat Panda outside, one parked round the corner and an empty drive with garage closed so we must have been out in the Mazda MX5.
