(this is a tough challenge!)

That it is.

I have been trying to find examples of the challenges first now so that we don't get stuck. This one does seem like it would be fairly easy tho. 

I will creepily admit that I found a BMW collectors full address and phone number by googling and then went to his house on google in a matter of minutes. The internet is a crazy and not so private place. Sadly he only had two cars in the driveway and the massive garage was closed.

I was thinking this one wouldn't be too hard! But I looked for a bit and you're right, not that easy...

Is the challenge issuer allowed to participate??

Absolutely. If he didn't find it in the first place he should be fully responsible to find it after a few days of searching from others

Funny shit. An old friend of mine used to live on 62nd, just off Lincoln... I don't remember seeing any black holes...

Haven't gotten much of a chance yet unfortunately

i've devised no other strategy besides trying to find an enthusiast's home that you might know.

i've cruised wealthier areas in places with higher BMW sales (Germany, the UK, California) and have found 2 bmw a couple of times, but no luck on 3.

[Jdesign]

The few locations I knew for a fact that had more than 3, google maps skipped the road. This has to exist.

three lexuses. lexi? lexus?

I have run into a few times now, that rich people have their entire house blurred out. This is a hard challenge.

[m42b32]

Ive been trying as well, it seemed like it would be an easy one... I figured one of you or someone you know would have a packed driveway!

Since it has been over a week of trying, maybe we could expand the terms to 3 BMW's parallel parked in a row?

[straight6pwr]

that's far too easy, i already saw that in my numerous usages of the VAC shop. i think this (actual) challenge should stand. for a while, anyways.

[YoungCR]

Agreed, keep it going! I’ll throw in a prize?

[straight6pwr]

BMW cool guy with a sweet pink mini cooper

I think we will find one, it will just take some time because there is no way to cheat unless you know someone, and the google car just so happens to catch it.

Odd mix of signs as well. One says "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere", and the other one says "hippies use side door"...

I found an E28 with gold wheels!

If this were a challenge to find a set of 3 or more Benz / or Audi in one driveway, I would have one last week. SHeesh!
