I dont watch the show but one of my buddies told me about this episode this morning:
YouTube - Operation repo #196 - What does a porsche sound like

High larryous! No not really. Like most TV I'm tempted to believe it's totally staged as 99.999% of all of it is. They're so good at making it believable too... I don't think anyone of these repo people could of run fast enough to get out of the way. Did you see how the camera cut for a second when the trucks heading for the 911? They probably had to stop the scene for like 5 minutes! I have the reflexes of a ninja( Great white ninja!) and I don't think I could hah made it either!

You may be right about it being staged...but it does not change the fact that they totaled a 911.

Man, I hate that kind of show. REALITY............right! They probably bought a really busted up 911 and staged the whole thing just like they do for every episode. Do people really watch this kind of stuff?

The whole cast must spend a lot of time at the Golden Corral Buffet. They must average 350# each. Snork!

Starter problem or no engine at all?
A roller is cheaper to destroy
I wonder where I can get those 16x9 Fuchs now, I need a pair.

Staged....no kidding, all of these silly shows are staged. Costs money to film a boring sting operation where nothing happens and doesn't entertain the audience. Too bad for the car though. Here's hoping the value of our 911's improve, so these gratuitous displays become "non-cost effective". Hello Pinto's, Cheers
