Google Earth got me!
On my way home from work I spotted a Google Earth Car, a Toyota Prius with a tall camera on its roof, coming the opposite way. Two months later I found my brand new Super duty and me on Google earth. You can see the shadow of the Google camera at the bottom of the picture.

Another reason to have your hands on the wheel and not picking your, um, nose.

Wouldn't it suck if you were driving with your mistress and got caught this way?

I'm sorry, but when I'm in my truck, I am driving my mistress. At least that's what my wife tells me!

If you're smart, you've got her busy with something that would inhibit anyone from seeing her ;-)

You're lucky you were'nt doing anything wrong. They caught a lady in Miami when she was buck naked on her front porch. Supposedly, google says they are going to blur her out. It seems you can't get away with anything these days.

Did any of you ever see the one, I think it was Chicago, where the Google car caught a shooting on the side of the street? Google has removed the images but it's still floating around the internet.

Dude, you've got a tiny little truck. We're going to expel you from the Superduty club.

Seriously, since you are in Escondido, you should come down and join the So Cal chapter. We accept guys with small trucks, no problem.
