Crazy things you've found in Google StreetView

[ErmineNotyours]

Google Street View is a great way to experience places you may never get to see otherwise...like the inside of this dude's car.

Until this moment, I did not know about Saint Pierre and Miquelon, or that any such French territory outside Canada or the United States existed around there.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Pierre_and_Miquelon

It came up in some other thread, so I decided to see what the roads look like. Instead I got this guy's car.

(I did eventually find out that they seem to use French specifications for signs and such.)

Yet, they use North American sized license plates:

Looks like they are European style, hard to tell, blurry.

Same here, I had no idea there was a French colony there.  Now I want to go!

I went to St. Pierre last year.  I thought they did use European-style plates -- there are a lot of different plates on the island (Canadian and U.S.).

They use both sizes.  The prevalence of US-sized ones is due to the prevalence of NAFTA vehicles.

This made me laugh:

Duplication glitch results in VW Beetle convertible limousine (with eyelashes on the headlights, too!)

Many eons ago I took advantage of that glitch to renumber a section of A-2 (in Spain) to a crazy extension of A-22: https://www.google.es/maps/@41.3097719,-2.1162107,3a,50.1y,155.29h,86.56t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sCp7t7UwJXiHHGcdS7eKqtQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Google Map car barges past a road closed sign to construction vehicles.  In fairness, it did turn out to be a local traffic trip.

Strange contrails looping above Portland, Oregon.

Hang loose.

(In middle school, the authorities thought that was an obscene gesture and forbade its use.)

That's not a Target truck.  That's an LTI truck pulling a Target trailer.

Clearly you have not read Section 37q(ii) of the Truck Identification Manual, which states in part that "for persons other than those directly involved in the trucking and transportation industry, tractor trailer trucks shall be identified by the corporate logos or text on the trailer unit".

Keep reading.  That section is further qualified by sub-section q(iii), which states in part, "...such shall not be construed as to pertain to persons identifying tractor trailer trucks in a non-professional, hobby, or amateur context such as an online Internet forum or..."

Smokiest truck?

Smokiest truck?

not even close

When I was young that was known as the 'bullshit' sign. Obviously the meaning has changed.

[kphoger]

When I was a kid, I was told it represented Satan's horns.

It's the Devil's Horns, as commonly seen at rock and metal concerts.

I believe that's sub-section qu(i(2b)ili)ng, whereby one comments right after the other one, usually in a big wall of quoted text to buttress the argument.

Quindaro Hall was closed in honor of Aftermath Day, so I can't verify this in person.

To find that sort of information, you have to attack it from a different angle.  (Note that attacking Quinadro Hall from a different angle is expressly required by law, but the related fines and punishments vary by a complicated calendar based on astrology, the viscosity of bitumen, and the half-life of hircinium.)

After a little bit of digging, I was able to find confirmation in a list of Goat State Alliance (gas.gov) facilities, which of course includes Quindaro Hall.  After navigating a series of links, I eventually found a slideshow about buttressing arguments.

Is it bad that I couldn't detect the sarcasm until I was most of the way through?
