Deja Vu: The Rieger Rocco

Being a creative revolves around the never-ending hunt for unique content to share with the world. As the proverbial envelope is pushed harder across the board when it comes to automotive culture and styling it isn’t often that a grassroots builder stands out in the way that Tony Grimmel does. I featured his one-off Jetta…

Gelände: The Eurowise Cayenne

The German sporting car aftermarket and the name Eurowise have been synonymous since the North Carolina based tuning shop opened its doors back in 2009. Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche are their bread and butter, however several other badges have made their way onto the Eurowise operating tables over the years. Mike Ngo got things rolling…

Desert Runner: Josh Backes’ GX470

The plethora of aftermarket automotive styles and cultures are what keep us going here at Fatlace and I always try to incorporate a wide variety of content to the page. Low cars and tight fitment are what we all cut our teeth on, but this Lexus was too cool not to feature. Enter Josh Backes…

Fifty Two Eighty: The Rocky Mountain 348

I had been actively searching for a new automotive feature as of late and posted a feeler looking for a unique setup that fit the bill.

With over 21.5 million units manufactured since 1937, the air-cooled Type 1, most commonly referred to as the Beetle, is the…

Circus Act: Brandon Schmidt

The journalism world has introduced me to a wide range of individuals. From musicians to professional athletes and die hard automotive enthusiasts, I thoroughly enjoy telling each and every one of their stories. Action sports have always been a major part of my life being that I’ve been skateboarding for almost 20 years. The culture…

Rut-World Begriff

I recently had the opportunity to chat with longtime automotive enthusiast and NASCAR television personality Rutledge Wood. I always enjoy interviewing like minded folks with the same way of thinking when it comes to cars and the like. We talked industry trends, his tenure with Top Gear, and his RWB 911. I’ll touch on the…

Second Serve: Mackenzie’s E30

Rarely does lightning strike the same object twice. As a longtime automotive writer and editor I have thoroughly enjoyed showcasing content from all sides of the industry, but I haven’t featured the same particular car more than once.  I’ve known Mackenzie Ebbers since 2015 and covered her BMW for Royal Stance during the aforementioned year.…
