Default national geographic la dismantlers

Has anyone downloaded the recent show on the National Geographic Channel from the Breakdown series featuring the Porsche that can provide the link to it? Thanks

It's available "on demand" on my carrier. It was OK....

Watched it on demand- entertaining, but you get the gist after 20 minutes or so.

Thanks to both. I don't have On Demand available and was hoping to see it via You Tube or some such. It doesn't sound like I missed much from what I gather, though.

It's available on pay per view but it costs twice as much as it should.

That show ran on 5-12 on the east coast.
It only re-enforces the suspect reputation the place has already.
Check out the short vid clips of the owners wife. She looks like a hooker. Her wardrobe/jewelery is courtesy of all the P-car owners they ripped off!
I can't believe Nat Geo thought this p-car chop shop was worth air time.

+1 Very lame show.
Nat Geo went down a few notches in my book for airing such a poor piece.

Also the show was unwatchable - like any other "reality" show, there was the requisite manufactured drama that somehow passes for entertainment these days. I made it through 15 minutes before I couldn't take any more of the mindlessness.

The 964 being striped was a Renlisters wreck.

I would imagine if the show was pay-per-view, L.A. Porsche Dismantlers would be charging $100 for a $10 show in used condition. And if they shipped it to you, it would arrive broken and poorly packed.
