Finding history of vehicle...?

[epashhans]

I was wondering if anyone knows how to attain public records or such about vehicles and previous owners, where they were bought, etc. I was just up at the DMV getting some stuff licensed and a lady I know up there said she can run VIN's for me to tell me the number of previous owners, but thats it. And she doesn't know how far back it goes. I would love to know where my truck was originally bought, maybe by who, and how many owners it has had since then. Mainly out of curiosity. Anyone done this or know of any resources I can hit up?? I have a feeling I am probably s.o.l. Thanks!
