Trade him for something! But not the Dakota! I always wondered where my old cars are.

Awesomesauce. I also from time to time wonder where my old cars ended up. Let's see...

-97 Saturn SC2, 88k, 5spd, turbo'd. Wrecked, sold for $400. Ran into the guy that bought it from me over a year later who said he fixed the front end and sold it to some kid for $2000.
-85 Toyota Camry, 324k, auto. Sold for $100 to some old lady in my old trailer park who was still driving it last I talked to her.
-94 Nissan Maxima, 167k, few bolt-ons + 50 shot wet, auto. Transmission went out, sold for $300. Don't know its fate.
-97 Saturn SC1, 197k, rebuilt DOHC swap, 5spd. Let my friend Mark borrow it, he totalled it.
-93 Chevy S10, 223k. Low-miles 350 SBC swap, 5spd. Rolled four times down a hill. Parted out.
-86 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z, 112k miles, 5spd. T-boned by a Toyota 4Runner.
-93 Eagle Talon, 250k, 5spd. rebuilt engine w/ some bolt-ons. Sold.
-91 Isuzu Impulse, 172k, 5spd, needed a LOT of work. Never finished this project, ended up selling it.
-90 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, 195k, auto. No title and needed a trans, but the engine is fresh rebuilt w/ forged rods, pistons, and crank. Still have the engine, junked the rest of the car. Looking for a nice shell to put it in.
-92 Dodge Dakota, 203k, auto. Lots of plans for this one, starting with body work.

I still have pics of a few of these if you guys are interested.

82 chevy cavilier- owned for 6 days then it took a dump so i junked it
89 dodge caravan(10sec on the 1/4mi) hit a deer just north of wausau
91 caravan - was a family car till it started leaking oil everywhere
87 dodge shadow fun car but was to much for me so i sold it
88 dodge daytona shelby z(vin was an 89 daytona es) sold then sold by that guy to another who blew it up and sold it again.
and the 97(iirc) dakota which was t-boned and rolled down a hill on the way to the dmv/emissions center.

You had a 2.2 Turbo Caravan? Always wanted one of those.

Lol, your 97 Dakota met the same fate as my 93 S10. I was also on the way to the DMV, to get plates for it.
