This text appears to be a blog post or article about the Rebelle Rally, an off-road racing event for women. The article discusses the use of high-tech navigation tools, such as GPS and satellite communication systems, to help participants navigate the challenging course.
The article highlights the benefits of using these technologies, including improved accuracy and safety. It also notes that some participants chose not to use GPS or other electronic devices during the rally, relying instead on traditional navigation methods like maps and compasses.
One participant, Nicole Dreon, is quoted in the article as saying "We might have used just old-school navigation tools to get us down the course, but the Rebelle Rally employed high-tech solutions to make sure we were safe, accurately scored, and had all the tater tots we could eat."
The article also discusses the use of advanced vehicles, such as the Subaru Forester Hybrid, which were equipped with features like adaptive suspension and electronic rear lockers. These vehicles performed well in the rally, but the author's own Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness car did surprisingly well despite being a more basic model.
Overall, the article seems to be celebrating the innovative use of technology at the Rebelle Rally, while also acknowledging the importance of traditional navigation skills and the value of simplicity in off-road driving.

! The idea of using high-tech tools like GPS and satellite comms for the Rebelle Rally is so cool 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good tech-savvy challenge? 
But at the same time, it's awesome that some folks chose to go old-school with maps and compasses 
. It's all about finding that balance between innovation and simplicity, you know? 
The Subaru Forester Hybrid was 
. I'm not mad at it for not being as fancy, either 
. It's all about the drive, you know? 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good snack on-the-go? 
I think what's really cool about events like the Rebelle Rally is how they push people out of their comfort zones to try new things and learn from each other. Like, sure GPS is super accurate and all that, but when you're out there in the wilderness with no signal, does it even matter? 
. It shows that technology isn't everything, but it's still super helpful when it is needed. Plus, who doesn't love a good underdog story? 
. I mean, what if the batteries died? What if the signal got all messed up? 
.
anyway, did some research and it seems like the whole event is pretty legit, but i'm still not convinced. wouldn't it've been better to just have a good ol' fashioned map and compass like normal people? 
. I mean, using GPS and satellite comms for navigation is one thing, but to have some participants opt-out and rely on old-school skills? That's awesome! It's like they're saying, "Hey, we've got the gadgets, but we can still do this manually if need be." And props to Nicole Dreon for making it fun 
. I love how the Rebelle Rally brings out the best in these women and their vehicles, and it's amazing to see them all working together as a community 
.
! I'm loving how they're embracing both old-school skills & new tech to make the event so epic! 
and those high-tech navigation tools sound super cool but also kinda cheating right? like where's the fun in relying on GPS when you can use a map and compass like grandma used to do? 
I mean, who needs tater tots on every course, but hey, if they've got it, let 'em enjoy it! 
And nice job to that Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness car - didn't think it'd hold its own against those fancy Foresters! But seriously, the Rebelle Rally is all about empowerment and friendship, and I love that vibe 
!
.
they're using GPS like it's nobodies business out there... meanwhile Nicole Dreon is over here eating tater tots and not having a clue where she is 
but hey at least it didn't require any fancy tech to do so.
