find the google street view car in street view. to make it harder, it cannot be the impreza version.

Does this count? It turns out that downtown Chicago they uses multiple Hyundai Elantra hatchbacks(blue, white, grey), but getting a good image of one reflected in the windows of the big buildings proved to be harder than expected.

the next challenge is to decipher what the banner actually reads on the link above.

Man thats really hard. 

I found info on the car but pictures are impossible.

Its a Hard motorsports project car, but it looks like the banner says "Hilfiger Autosport "

Yay!!

Next challenge: Find 3 or more BMW's in one residental driveway (so not a shop or business).

[YoungCR]

Ughh! Only 2/3 cars were present when this was taken. I suppose this is when I had the burgundy E28 in Milwaukee though. E24 in the garage and the Delphin on the street.

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.

[m42b32]

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
