It's a pretty good shot, tho I'm not in it. The BudChev has the driveway to itself - rare. It sez the photo was dated June 2014.

Well it is quite obvious that google does not update often. Pic says 2013 and I had neither of the Montes yet. I did find the street view for work and my old 99 Grand Prix is in the pic. Oops pic says 96 Grand Pris...it was a 99.

I found a bonus shot of my car at work parked beside my winter beater Bronco (I just leave the Bronco there for "storage" during summer). It isn't a very good shot, but you can see the back quarter. I guess I can be in 2 places at once

I looked to see if my cars were on street view, but google hasn't updated around my house since 2009, so my older two vehicles are in the driveway and it's weird as I saw the google car in town at the beginning of last summer, the guy that drives it in my area has an 87 monte ss (he lives about 30 minutes from my house) and his car has been sitting in his driveway for 3 years now without moving, he had it for sale last summer but it's still there he must have been asking too much money for it

So, in some cases Google Street view has multiple dates they did drive-bys! Going to June 2011, I found my old daily driver (the '94 Grand Am) at the parking lot I used to use when I worked in Downtown!! It's a bit grainy because of the zoom, but that's it!

If you notice, those spots are all over that pic (the sky, driveway, garage). I'm guessing dirt or rain on the lense when they went snapping pictures.

Your Monte looks funny not on the driveway, sitting all fenced in (like beware of dog) lol.
