    Went to visit my parents and other siblings, and since my old Probe is there I also continued stripping it.

    Below are pics of the remainings of the Probe(Still alot to take off, since I just finished repairing it before the accident, nearly half the parts are brand new...), also a nice-ish photo of my BMW(have to drive it since the new Probe needs some work: Front suspension needs a overhaul and the brakes are non-existent). In addition I took a photo of just more than half the cars laying around there, most are driveable.

    Why is it so hard to just keep a car instead of getting rid of it the second it needs the tiniest bit of work?

    Ran out of synonyms...
    Was using "pic" too much before, tried to change it up.
    Quite clearly english is not my first language:)

    Did not notice: It's photo... Will correct it

    Fixed the back windows. Kinda.
    This was the car when I bought it.

    Sadly, less than an hour later, both the back left and back right electric window regulators failed, the glass fell into the door and got stuck there (glass itself, thankfully didnt break). Both doors ffs....
    My repair consisted of dismantling the interior of the door, freeing up the tangled cable mess, sliding the glass upwards and taping it in place.

    Today, I borrowed a drill, found a nice hole in the interior of the door that lines up perfectly with the back of the broken slider. Drilled a hole through the back of the slider, chucked a nut through it. This nut now perfectly supports the carriage that lifts the glass and holds it in place.

    End result:
    14159097_1140360776010344_1851248406_n.jpg
    Since gone back and managed to peel the remains of the tape from the glass. I've also disconnected the motor so any accidental button presses will be ignored (and the buttons in the doors themselves are also disconnected).

    In future I might do a proper fix but for now, my car looks like it did in the first picture again.

    Conspiracy theory, these are just ramblings of a 12 year old that doesnt own any vehicles, just photographs what he sees

    Image on left from Jun 16 for reference.

    I would also like to add that you left the GPS data in some of these photos, as such it is very easy to find out where they were taken (to within a couple 100m [hint: Tennessee {and on a Galaxy S6}]), if that was at your house that may not be so great, so you may want to consider pulling those images from the forum.

    Streetview doesn't show anything, just a Ram and a CRV.

    GPS data isn't always 100% accurate (just open up google maps on your phone and see how sometimes the blue circle is larger than others), I checked multiple images (to see if they were consistent with the story) and they all pointed to the same neighbourhood. Apart from some that were taken at dealerships within the same state.

    So it is likely they were all taken by the same person (especially considering all on the same phone). However it doesn't state whether that person is the one posting them here (however likely) and equally whether they were their cars.

    If you look at the Mercury pictures it's pretty easy to find the house in streetview.

    I didn't look any further than beyond what town the photos were taken in. So haven't looked for anything more specific than that.

    My bad there,
    In which case all photos point to the same location. All taken with the same phone (apart from some very old ones, taken on a proper camera from 2013). Evidently they go through a lot of cars it would seem (or have a lot on the driveway) :p
