Could you be any more vague?

Did you sell it? Was it on ebay? What state? Do you have the VIN?

sorry about that, i forgot about the lovely chocolate city of new orleans (as a native i reserve the right to mock Ray Nagen and Cathlene Blanco). I'm from one of those 98.9% white, lost-in-the-woods little towns in LA. Which just happens to have a massive population (comparitively speaking) of white guys named johnson. <----((Not racist) no matter how bad my hometown's reputation for it was) haha, come to think of it, i better call all my old buddies and tell em they're outnumbered.

If you have his name (last name is most important) & know at least the city / general location of where he lives, search for him on www.dexknows.com or www.anywho.com

Ever heard the phrase "it's like searching for a needle in a haystack" ?

You could try... but the DMV is very strict about that stuff. Usually you have to pay a fee, if they even release that kind of info.

Dude... if you have his name, search for him on those websites I listed. Unless his name is super generic like Bob Johnson...

Knock on everyone's door in California... that would be pretty effective... about the same as asking over and over how to find someone on a Z car forum.
