subaru, what makes them tick

ok so i just bought a subaru, and i have been looking to the brand to see what makes them tick .. being a brand guy i always look for what a brand does and i love it when a brand team thinks out side of the box … check out subaru’s newest campaign .. brilliantly mocks the blandness of some automotive companies. The fake Mediocrity site is rich in detail, allowing you to customize your beige vehicle in only a couple of ways. My only gripe is that the new Subaru line isn’t quite the antithesis of mediocrity. The idea would have worked nicely for BMW or Mini.

About Fatlace

Born in 1999, Fatlace initially started as a blog about the elements of hip-hop, with roots in music, break dancing, and graffiti. In addition to the hip-hop lifestyle we grew up on, cars is a collective interest among the Fatlace family and inevitably was incorporated into our web site. Fast forward and Fatlace has evolved to what you see now, still continuing to grow.

At first, Fatlace in San Francisco's historic Japantown seems like your typical shop with dope beats, comfy sneaks and kids up to no good, but stay a while and you'll discover there's more to us than what is on the surface. You'll soon find out the diverseness within our team and the details that set us apart from the usual street boutique. Be sure to also check out Illest, our Los Angeles shop and if you can't make it out to either, there's always our online store where we carry all of our latest products.
