Ice Ice Baby
You can't truly understand how totally f'in bueno any of Subaru's vehicles are (especially if you're from So Cal, like me) unless you've had the chance to put them through the ringer in environments that they were produced to excel in - like snow and off the pavement, for example. This past winter, Subaru brought out famed Norwegian rally driver, John Haugland, a 27-time world rally champion, who taught Petter Solberg and a few other racers a thing or two about rally racing, to come and teach a few automotive journalists a few things about putting around on an ice course. I can't say that I'll be Subaru's next star rally driver, but I can say that having Haugland riding shotgun with me in both a WRX and STI, while giving me invaluable instruction, is an experience I'll never forget. Most of all, I put these car's technologies to good use, which is being able to go fast and keep it controlled, even if it's being done on not-so-typical surfaces.
