I got the idea of the muffler car from a real car that was used by a muffler shop in WA. There are several Muffler Car (if you google it) the one in WA was a street legal one compared to the others.

Here a few pictures. The running gear are from a 50's Corvette kit.

I love the Google car!   It's light commercial at it's finest!   When I saw you were doing this I indeed Googled   "Google Car" and got all kinds of images, so your car is true to life.  I had imagined that Google used unmarked units to get people acting naturally.   One of the fun things I like to do is "walk" around neighborhoods, you see all kinds of interesting things!  I've screen shot a few and saved them.   When I was looking at my Aussie friend's neighborhood,  a car full of teenagers spotted the Google car and could be seen hanging out of the windows and waving for a few blocks!

Here's a few images I saved from my walks through towns...

Thank you Tom! :) There are a lot of "strange" picture captured by the Google car... When it passed last year in front of my house, I ran out, but I guess they take picture only from the front of the car, because you don't see me... I saw also the Bing car, I think was a metallic red Toyota Rav, with a sticker on the door that say Bing. I check the bing map site but, first they ask you to download a software, for look a the map, so I did but it doesn't work. That day I was working on the C-10. One day on the road I saw a Silverado with a kind of Google camera on the bed, but I couldn't understand what was the name on the door.
