Sowo was a life altering event for me. I was so amazed by the quality of people and the quality of the event. Everyone you stopped to ask about their car was happy to tell you anything about it. No one had that superiority complex you find everywhere else. It just seems to me like its VAG people, then everything else in a separate group.

I was this close to signing for a MK6 GLI all because of Sowo, but Honda came back with an offer on my SI that I couldn't pass up. But since then, I stopped hanging out at Barrett. It's just a bunch of kids with small dicks trying to prove how big they are. And coincidentally, very few Dubbers hang out there. I love my Hondas, but I'll always have a special place in my heart for the VAG.
Yes, the VAG scene is very very different from the scene that we all know on here. It's amazing how different the two groups are. I had been to several of the "honda" meets and they are all the same except for a select few. There's just no need to TRY to impress people in the VAG scene. All of our cars are pretty much the same lol We're all here to help each other learn. I go to a monthly VW meet and I'm always being asked questions about APR or my car and I always ask questions and get the nicest response. I've learned more from the VAG scene than I ever did when I was active on here or attending the meets advertised here. It's just a great group to be a part of
Granted, there are those few douchebags, but that's pretty much expected haha

SOWO I absolutely had a blast, and I HATE CAR MEETS. My ex GF was in charge of a vendor booth there (a large vendor booth) so i went with her because , you guessed it, FREE. I was driving an Acura TL at the time, and the VW crowd sure does know how to act and put an event on.

Everyone was so friendly and laid back, no hate, no "clicks" of kids talking shit about others, and no superiority complex that you see at other meets.

Roxie, youve done FD, id def go to SOWO, especially since you are one of the "owners" now.

P.S. i deleted his comments, ill keep the thread inline
Thanks for the helpful moderating. It is appreciated, sir!

I will be going to Sowo. I've officially decided.
I will be working a booth there, as well (HighwayStar Garage), so some of my time will be spent there when I'm not out exploring or visiting friends and vendors and stuff. I'm super excited to go, and I know I'm gonna have a GREAT time.

Thanks for all the help, guys!
