I don't think the last two years are even correct on how recent these images are. The view of my home in White Lake Township, Michigan is much older then that and is the exact same view I got when Map Quest provided free satellite photos. In it I see my 1964 Dodge Dart parked in front of the house when it has been parked on the side for years now (no extra cash or time to get it ready for the road again). Also my son's high school is still under construction, yet it has been open for three years.
