    After he repossesses an airplane, how does he sell it? Does he put it on Craigslist?

    Had me fooled for a minute, I watched Operation Repo last night and the same dudes that repo-ed Pt Cruizers, 15 year old Geo Trackers, and 4 wheelers were repo-ing a jet! Operation Repo is about as good as Cops as far as "reality" shows go.

    @P161911 now with M POWER!: I watched that retarded show exactly once. They repo'd a Prius in the woods and the owner and his posse just about attacked them with swords. That show is completely fake.

    This was a fascinating article - like a real man, he can get a plane airborne with pliers and a roll of duct tape.

    No mention of landing aforementioned plane successfully, but a pretty bad-assed and lucrative career - dude drives a Bentley.

    His English must be real broken. And that's okay.


    I don't want to hear from all the members on this site who are ESL, like the Canadians, or the Minnesotans.
