The Super Repo Man

Having the repo man come and repossess your shit sucks, especially if it's a nice set of wheels that you've been polishing and cruising around in trying to pick up chicks.

In most cases of repossession a bank will call any old repo man to do the deed. However, what if a bank wants to take a submarine or a private jet? Any vanilla flavoured repo man is not cut out for that kind of op. It requires something more specific, like a neapolitan-flavoured repo man. So the bank sends in the Super Repo Man to steal your shit. He's like the A-Team of repo men, able to take anything anywhere in the world at anytime. He probably has a cool van as well.

Yes, from luxury speed boats in Palm Beach and Miami to jets in Mexico and Colombia, the Super Repo Man repos it all -- armed guards or not. You'd have to be a special kind of man to steal a plane protected by goons with guns. Staring down a shotgun doesn't sound like fun, but Super Repo Man Nick Popvich believes that the man who says he's going to shoot you will not shoot you.

Good to know.
