RIP Subaru Rally Team

I was heart broken to hear that Subaru has officially announced the end of its World Rally team. This marks the death of a legend, the end of an era. The World Rally Championship was an amazing sight, cars driving at insane speeds not on pavement, but on gravel, snow and ice. The lessons learned from the WRC Championship helped Subaru design some of the best handling cars in the world, with All Wheel Drive that keeps you car glued to the road. The technology developed by the Rally team was amazing, and helped create things like a DCCD. It is truly a shame that Subaru decided to pull the Rally team. They cited the economic downturn as the reason, and I have to say that of all the casualties thus far, this is by far the biggest loss I feel. 

So Alia and I decided to go on a farewell Subaru World Rally Team (SWRT) winter road trip. We are driving up to Nova Scotia from North Carolina, with a stop in Boston. We'll take pictures and video of our trip and post it online soon.
