Tracking Down Your Old Car

It's been almost two years since I traded in my old car, and I frequently wonder where it is. I can't imagine what kind of person would ever want to buy that thing. I tried typing the VIN into Google, but I never get any search results. Anyways, one day I stumbled across this website that's completely focused on finding your old cars. As it turns out, this site isn't very useful. I look up my old car, and it said it was "last sighted" in my hometown. I'm assuming no one ever bought my car, and it ended up in a junk yard or something.

The whole point of posting this has nothing to do with my old car. At this point, I really couldn't care less about it. To further prove how useless this website is, I entered the VIN of my new car. This is the picture it gave me:

According to this, the previous owner of my car lived a few hundred miles of the coast of Nigeria. However, when I moused over the green dot, it said, "somewhere in Florida." I suppose this is a little more logical. Actually, I vaguely recall reading that the car was previously registered in Florida on the CarFax sheet I got from the dealer. I just thought I would share this. Please take a moment to admire the geographic accuracy of this map. 

If you want to find out where your old car is or where your current car was, you can try this website. It's called checkmyride.com. By the way, I blocked out my VIN and the name of the town where my car is currently registered because I don't want the internet to know where I live and what kind of car I have.
