I’ve been to SoWo a few times now, and i can easily say that the biggest reason i go is to be with friends I’ve made through EurGhetto. Many of you are like a second family to me, and frankly, if most of you for any reason couldn’t make it to SoWo, id find myself hard pressed to even go. To me SoWo is and always will be the best car show around. I will see you all next year, and lets try and plan a true EG G2G one night.

Ted missed his wife on vacation, he tried to get a lil freaky with Mocha…

Hannas Not So Famous BBQ visits Helen Ga.

Ducky says “Why would you ask dehate to write the SoWo article for the front page……”

So from this point on on were gonna try and do an article each month highlighting someone from the site who has been nominated either for some sort of uniqueness of their car, something they did that was positive for the car scene, or that they are simply just great person and deserve a little bit honor.

So for me an easy pick was Ted Wambach; more commonly known as Teddy or TeamZleep on EG. Teddy is easily one of my better friends on EurGhetto, which is funny because the amount of times we have hung out in person could probably be counted on two hands. I met Teddy a few years ago through PSI, and like everyone PSI has personally introduced me to, Teddy is a top notch person.

A lot of non-car scene people don’t really understand how you can be such good friends with someone you only talk to on the internet and facebook. But for me its been easy. Teddy is easily one of the handful of people i will go out of my way to make sure i see at events like SoWo.

Speaking of sowo, last year i picked up a 5 speed transmission for Ted from Underground VW in tampa because he had recently blown his last one. Ted had turbo’d his mk5 rabbit 2.5L, it was stupid fast; so we drove it up to SoWo so he could get the rabbit back on the road. Ted seems to be known on some sties for having very unique mk5’s.

If you’ve been living under a rock, or just refuse to go on any mk5 site or thread, then you might not know that Teds .:R also caused a rukus, but not in the got fast make a lot of noise way. Many an .:R owner got pissed over fact that he traded away the .:R bodykit. But in my opinion, it was a great move. I love how the mk5 rabbit front looks.

So… i told Ted that i was writting the article about him, and that i wanted to get some pics taken of his car, not big deal. But then a week later he finished his new wheels, which look WAY WAY better. So go check his facebook/instagram and check it out, its proof that you dont need to spend 10 grand on wheels/air/other shit to have a clean looking car. If you dont know Ted i suggest you take some time to really get to know him, he’ll be at SoWo, buy him a beer and chat it up. He’s one of the best people i know on EG, he’s a loving father, and he’s even served our country.

P.S. - Teddy, if i get drunk at SoWo dont let me put fireworks in anyone pockets….

The giant failure that my car has been for years is finally gonna be somewhat respectable here in the near future; well at least in my opinion. Fixing the stupid childish exhaust i currently have, FS Tuning to fix what REVO broke. The wheels are done…… say what??

Yeah, i only took like a year to actually do something to them… Ive had periods on and off where i hated my car, wished it would catch on fire, and thought of driving it off the side of I4. But my car has been a true learning lesson, I’ve learned more about how a car functions than I’ve ever wanted to, I’ve also come to know some really great people thanks to this shit box.

I don’t know how many times PSI and Madface have told me not to do something, i did it anyways, then fucking regretted it later. And without Hanna last year my car would have blown through its cam follower leaving me stranded in woods of Georgia. I personally wanna thank everyone in EG who has been there for me.

This is just a little note i wanted to put out there, more for me than anything else. New article coming hopefully in the next week or two depending when a certain AWD rabbit can get loose in front of a camera.

So no matter the reason groups of people hang out, over time there tends to be this talk of the group being more than friends, but a family. People they would do anything for, but often this is just talk, its really never put to the test. It’s never more than just a state of mind most people try to stay in betwixt all the shit talking. Recently EurGhetto.com had the chance to put its money where its mouth is when our dear friend and fearless leader Christopher “PSIGTI” Kennedy became very ill.

As most of you know when Chris got sick, it caused him to miss a lot of work, so subsequently financial issues began to arise. Between teddy, a few others, and myself there was this idea to get everyone together to try and get some money/supplies donated to Chris to help him out. Naturally his stubborn ass refused..

Things have turned around; he’s doing better, getting life back on track. But I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who was there for Chris and offered assistance when it was needed. I’m proud to have been able to part of this group over the last 4-5 years. Once PSI is doing a lot better, were gonna try and have another EG BBQ or something similar to the last time we all got together. Either way hope to see most of you at SoWo.

“Chris, Chris is the man. he is one of the main reasons i still love the car community.” – Jarrod “Madness” DesJardins

“I wanna go to pen island” – Lauren Renfrow

Whats Next???

Sometime shortly there will be entries to the front page coming from Jonathan DeHate, as well as some other ideas being worked on.

As a notice to everyone who has been here for years and to the newest members, I wanted to take a minute to let you know of some changes coming to our little hole in the wall.
