Colin McRae's tragic death last week has robbed motorsport of one of it's most charismatic and daring competitors...he will always be remembered for his titanic struggle with Spanish driver Carlos Sainz to become the first Briton to win the World Rally Championship in 1995 with an epic victory in the final round at the RAC Rally of Great Britain.

Press a button, and information scrolls visually across a series of otherwise hidden LED’s embedded just beneath the surface plastic above the controls.
Our debut guinea pig is a 2006 Subaru Forester 2.5XT Limited, a vehicle we’ve admired for its roomy interior and punchy, 224-hp turbocharged engine.

More power is never a bad thing, so we also cranked up the engine by increasing the turbo boost via a reprogrammed engine computer.

Bill O'Reilly abuses and cuts the mic of retired Colonel Ann Wright, 29-year veteran of the US Army, after she refuses to fall victim to his leading, dishonest questions and smear tactics. Apparently in Bill's demented world, criticizing the actions of President Bush in explicitly violating international law — something Col. Wright spent years teaching — constitutes "blaming" America.
