Do you see something familiar (http://\"http://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox-a&channel=s&hl=en&q=2900+w.+sample&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=2900+W+Sample+Rd,+Pompano+Beach,+Broward,+Florida+33069&ll=26.274195,-80.162838&spn=0.004012,0.008229&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=26.274198,-80.16255&panoid=Cy3j9oCDUGkQjWRGng_xvg&cbp=12,188.88,,0,7.43\") in this Google Street View shot?

Hate to be Mr. Obvious, but isn't that the Wheel tour bus?

In case you haven't figured it out by now, I'm referring to the Wheelmobile. (ETA: Ninja'd by Bryce.)

+1 to LA the DJ for the Mallrats reference.

But why would a guide on stretch- oh, I get it. Definitely well played.

If you have to put "Yes, it's GS Related" in the tagline of a thread in a game show forum where there's no "Off Topic Section", something's up.

In retrospect, this thread probably should've been titled something like "Wheelmobile spotted on Google Maps". Clearly I was trying too hard to cover my ass.

Heh, I found that before there (never thought to post about it) as my grandmother used to live just a few miles from there -- I used to hang out at the arcade in the Festival Flea Market (an indoor flea market in an old mostly dead mall).  I had been revisiting her neck of the woods via Google street view about a year ago and chuckled when I saw the Wheelmobile in the parking lot there.

If you don't want to see a picture of the Wheelmobile, you can pass it by. I thought it was harmless enough, myself.

Geez, I didn't even see the damn thing the first time I opened the link.  My other, slower computer just showed the blurry version of the shot.

Still, loved the cloak-and-dagger routine.  Should have made the post a cliff-hanger, though.

This has to be the only pricing game in the history of the show where I routinely root against the contestant* to see Hans go ass over teakettle off the cliff.

*Nowadays, I root against some carefully screened contestants for different reasons...
