What a coincidence. We happened to tune into MotorTrend Fast TV last night just as the Mecom Full Throttle episode was airing. I asked Kathy if she thought they might show the wagon and lo and behold, they aired a clip of it. Unfortunately, during the auction they cut to commercial as the car rolled across the block so there was just the small bit you mentioned. The live stream of the auction had quite a bit more of the action, but without any commentary. Jon Kramen mistakenly said the car had Lambo front doors. Actually, I suicided the rear doors using a kit from Scissor Doors in Nova Scotia. Guess he saw the name and made the assumption. We were happy with the outcome. First time I've ever broke even on a build.
