Default Roaches Conquer Space!

I'm pretty sure I saw a google picture vehicle when looking at
street views. But I don't recall where, or whether maybe it was
a reflection in a window or something. But if there's a bottleneck
where two of them would have to use a bridge... well, that makes
it less improbable.

Hm... looking at the url, it seems like it's not at all like
the google vehicles I saw, which were white trucks. But the camera
pole sure looks bolted to that grey car. I wonder if it's a competitor.
Or if google really has competitors for street view compilations.


When I drive that slow you know it's hard to steer
I can't get my car out of second gear!
