*The Evening Rush is your daily roundup of auto, gear, and lifestyle news, all in one place. Less time searching, more time driving. Motor on.*

**Automotive**

Ford plans to invest $1.3 billion into its [Kentucky truck plant](<https://www.autonews.com/article/20151201/OEM01/151139984/ford-plans-1-3-billion-upgrade-of-kentucky-truck-plant?cciid=masthead-headline-autonews>), and nearly a quarter of the “new and secured” 8,500 jobs Ford has pledged to the UAW will go to the revamped Louisville factory. The facility will produce the redesigned super-duty series of trucks.

Porsche has outdone itself once again with the new [Turbo](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/1062/porsche-911-turbo-more-boost-more-bucks-more-tail>) and [Turbo S](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/1062/porsche-911-turbo-more-boost-more-bucks-more-tail>). Packing 540hp and 580hp, these German rocketships have zero-to-60 times to make Ferraris shudder. The Drive team cannot wait to get its grubby mitts on these things.

The [Ford Mustang](<https://www.torquenews.com/106/ford-mustang-sales-dip-november-still-beats-camaro-challenger>) dipped in sales this past November, with only 7,286 ponies trotting off lots. That said, the Mustang is still doing better than the Chevrolet Camaro and the Dodge Challenger.

**Gear**

Although the summer fishing season may be over, the hunt for good gear never stops. The [Deeper Portable Fish Finder](<https://buydeeper.com/deeper>) is a wireless sonar fish finder that links to your phone to provide fish location, water depth, temperature and a ton of other parameters.

Skiing and snowboarding too pricey this season? Consider investing in a solid pair of snowshoes. The folks over at [Tubbs](<https://tubbssnowshoes.com/snowshoes/boundary-peak-m>) make terrain-conquering footwear that can handle whatever mother nature dishes out.

**Lifestyle**

Beer snob holiday-gift alert. Why not two pint glasses and a growler with your own custom design? Head on over to [www.homewetbar.com](<https://www.homewetbar.com/classic-brewery-engraved-pint-glasses-beer-growler-p-5259.html>) and get cracking, Picasso.

The snow has finally begun to fall at our favorite mountains, and that means it is time to buy a ski pass. Rather than binding (see what we did there?) yourself to one mountain, we recommend you check out the [Mountain Collective](<https://mountaincollective.com/>) ski pass. Lots of mountains, little cash.
