Benvenuti amici!
The CC5C FB page recently hit a magic number… 500. It's a special benchmark for obvious reasons; the FIAT Cinquecento and the name of our club. We think that event warrants a dedicated blog entry.
From the launch of the CC5C blog and Facebook page, one of the greatest focuses has been offering a broad look at the FIAT life experience. In example, despite the name of the local club, various models and vintages are featured on a regular basis. Two regularly covered topics, throughout the webiverse, are history a/k/a heritage and personal and/or professional FIAT-related anecdotes. CC5C takes some creative liberty with them. Drawing from varied art forms, including music & philosophy, we produce flyer-like messages. From found images/quotes and images/messages from our personal image library and creative writing bank, we fiendishly piece together subversive messages we playfully refer to as CC5C-M3 Public Service Announcements (PSAs).
Many of our earliest PSAs were playful invites to our monthly gatherings, with three simple calls-to-action… "Wash 'Em. Wax 'Em. Wake 'Em Up." (check out the image below). These messages often feature a FIAT 500 Topolino hotrod. The tale behind using them remains untold, but the visceral power coupled with the elegant simplicity of the "Little Mouse" captured in the images is nothing short of brilliant. We continue to post the "Wash 'Em. Wax 'Em. Wake 'Em Up." messages from time-to-time… and they still feel F-U-N!

As is evidenced in the frequent use of "Passion. Purpose. Peace." and "Wash 'Em. Wax 'Em. Wake 'Em Up.", CC5C regularly employs catchy 3-4 word slogans in the posts to our social driving page. You can plan to wear your favorite 3-word combinations when we launch our Mighty Mouse Militia (M3) line of t-shirts. We have no definite details to share, but that's not what this blog entry is about…
Global celebrations of FIATs. Freedom. Fun. via Personal. Peaceful. Posts. ~ the greater FIAT life experience community has a good thing going. So, in that very spirit, we share this gallery of PSAs with you.
We trust you enjoyed perusing these CC5C-M3 PSAs. Feel free to share them to Facebook pages and/or forums you regularly visit. You can also "pin" them by visiting us here. We ask [when] you [do] to share them intact and in the spirit described here. Be inspired...
