Snap! Crackle! Pop! That's not the Rice Krispies elves, kids. That's the noise coming out of your vintage orphan car tube radio!

Pete Koziell, a Nash Car Club of America member, has co-produced a new documentary about the folks who crash cars for fun and not so much profit.

The movie is called Hell Drivers: America's Original Crash Test Dummies, and Pete plans to take it on the road through the film festival circuit this summer.

I checked out the web site. Although the film seems to be about modern hell drivers, I know that Pete has probably included historical footage of past hell drivers like Lucky Lee Lott (who wrecked Nashes for a living) and Aut Swenson (who destroyed Kaiser-Frazers).
