Aroview: An entertaining look 'under the hood' with lovable demolition driver-mechanic Ed 'Speedo' Jager, one of the best practitioners of the craft in the USA.

Carrying out the weekly ritual of constructing and driving his souped-up bombs, Jager has evolved a unique philosophy on life, which is put to the test when his marriage breaks down and his son turns into a punk-rocker. Like AMERICAN MOVIE, this transcends its central subject, and becomes a compelling portrait of a complex soul undergoing change.
