i was looking through google maps as a friend asked me to look up his house and down the street from him i found this, my car! picture was back in 2009, so it wasn't owned by the guy i bought it from. if anybody can help me find the previous owner it would be greatly appreciated!

That car would be not far from where I live. I live on the other side of Charleswood. Haven't seen that car around in the 2 years we have been here, but there was another one but a sedan on Brisbois Drive for a while.

so the wagon used to be yours? it shows on google maps from 2007 to 2009 but could be more, you never know. i've got a bunch of vehicle info if you think it might have been yours?

No I don't think that it is mine. Don't recall parking in that area. Spent most of my time running errands and such around Brentwood and Memory Express in Dalhousie. I'll keep an eye out for you. Chris
