    Mercury Marquis, isn't it?

    I wouldn't want to be one of the drivers of the Google street view cars. They go through some pretty bad areas.

    Just up the street and around the corner: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl...&z=18

    Looks very similar. These are not staged or placed there by Google as a joke. Just real life in America's cities.

    Wad of cash in left hand. Reaching into pocket with right hand. Passenger with outstretched hand is waiting for what she is digging out of her pocket.

    Now that I have my rock, I'm off to find some hookers.

    This street view is particularly awesome:

    http://maps.google.com/maps?hl...&z=15

    Directly to the SE, we have a gentleman being handcuffed.

    To the SW, we have a cute little kid being let around by his babymama

    Off to the W, we have a gentleman with no shirt on, giving the finger.

    Gotta love Chi-Town......
