911s on Google Earth

I love researching historical geography on Google Earth, especially old vs. new (love the new historical imagery). During this goofing off, I mean research, I have found a few 911s purely by accident. These are all in the S.F. Bay Area. Exact locations erased for owner privacy (even though they are parked right out in the open). I realize some could be 912s.

The was one last year posted where the Google video car happened to follow a 911 though the country side, it was pretty cool.

I was in my 911 when the Google car drove past. I was in a pretty cruddy area at the time and I remember the general area but have never been able to find myself on G Earth.

I always preferred my 912 over my 911's.

No, but I did just find another one under a cover that looks like a LH Targa.
