I don't even know what to say to that. That was pretty crazy.

I feel sorry for the idiots that actually thinks this show is anything other than staged BS.

Pretty much everything on TruTV is fake, and the name gives it all away. How do I know? Froot Loops is how. Yes, the breakfast cereal.

Take a look at the logo:

Notice that it's spelled "Froot" instead of fruit. That's because due to truth in advertising laws if Kellogg's used the word "fruit" it would imply that the stuff contained actual fruit and would lead to a lawsuit. Now look at the logo for the channel that carries the TV show "Operation Repo" which is "TruTV":

Notice these two things:

The word "True" isn't present. Just like how Froot Loops doesn't use the word "fruit" to avoid implying that the product contains actual fruit, "tru" doesn't imply that the visual product supplied by this network is actually "true" and bears any factual substance at all.
"Not Reality. Actuality." which means once again that none of this is real. In this case you're "Actually" seeing a DeLorean get repossessed. However it's not "really" happening since it's not claimed to have any ties to reality as we know it.

Of course it's staged!

But who's D was my question. :) Want to know how this came about.

There was a guy a few months ago selling the spoiler that was on that D. I asked him if it was his car from the show and he said it was. He told me about how they rented his car for the story. I have the e-mail somewhere. I'll try to dig through and look for it.

i recall this story; i think he still sells stainless bumper letters on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/DELOREAN-REAR-BUMPER-LETTERS-DMC-DELOREAN-DMC12-/190605256357?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item2c60f566a5)... he uses a photo of his D for an example:
