Operation Repo--911 crushed

Anyone catch the episode tonight where the car owner's brother crushed a nice SC/Carrera with a freakin' monster truck?

It appears to be in CA at a county/state fair.

The car looks to be be Prussian or Baltic Blue.

Anyone know the owner?

"Operation Repo" is not reality, it's a "scripted reality" show, so It's likely the car was a junk car.

Some TV and advertising schit doesn't make any sense at all. Like the time some trendy magazine did the U-boat routine on a brand new Audi just so they could show it sitting in a swimming pool. TT I think it was. Or how about when that halfwit Jesse James junked a Cadillac hearse.?

They don't build those things anymore. Same with a Porsche, which always has recyclable parts.

99% of television has gotten so stupid as to be unwatchable. Right in the spirit of "Oh my balls" - that's the level of quality of most programming. One reason why I'm probably dumping subscription and going to a 100% pay-per-view format (see the Apple TV thread). That way I can get the 1% that's worth seeing without stupid nonsense like this.

Must be nice to be a TV producer. Makes some juvenile innuendos, sprinkle in some big explosions and some violence, and voila!

Hollywood. Pfft.

Oh, I agree that it is made for tv but they still destroyed what looked like a perfectly good 911.

I was curious if anyone here knew somebody connected with the show.

Year and a half cable TV free. If something is worth watching we rent it.
Watched Ironman 2 last weekend, wasn't worth the $4 rental, not much is....

Lumberg's 911 from Office Space was actually pretty crappy.
Same with the car on one of those sitcoms... Dharma & Greg IIRC?
Or how about the 911 in Death Race? Mid year junker as well.

One way to look at it is evey time they destroy a 911, ours become a little more rare.

Speedvision, The History Channel, HDTheatre, that would probably be enough for me.

I have cable for:

Discovery, Speed, Nat Geo, Science, Military, BBC America (Top Gear!) and Sci-Fi. The rest is for HD football & local news.

Lumberg's 911 was for sale on Craigslist in Austin recently and it wasn't pretty crappy, it was really a piece of junk. But! It was in the movie Office Space so that is worth a lot of cash right there.....
