*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**

Aerial spy shots of the [Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible](<https://www.automobilemag.com/features/news/chevrolet-camaro-zl1-convertible-spied-testing-could-have-supercharged-v-8/>) have been leaked, and although the shot angles are less than ideal, we are excited to see the project underway. Rumors are that the drop top will utilize the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 found in the Corvette Z06 and Cadillac CTS-V.

Juan Manuel Fangio’s 1956 Ferrari 290 MM was sold at a New York auction on Dec. 10 for a mind-boggling [$28.05 million](<https://www.autoblog.com/2015/12/14/fangios-ferrari-sold-for-28-million-in-new-york-w-videos/>). The Ferrari was built for Fangio to drive in the [1956 Mille Miglia](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956_Mille_Miglia>), where he placed fourth.

Although the differences visible in these camo shots of the [2017 Audi A4 Allroad](<https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1026218_2017-audi-a4-allroad-spy-shots>) don’t seem to be earth-shattering, we are excited to see this thing hit the road. With a 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder capable of 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque, this all-wheel-drive wagon has all the makings of a snow-blaster.

**Gear**

If you have a basement, chances are you have thought about putting weights down there. Unfortunately, a solid set of iron costs thousands of dollars. Rather than dropping that kind of coin, consider [Bowflex’s Selecttech](<https://www.bowflexselecttech.com/bowflex-selecttech-us/products/552dumbbells/prdcdovr~100131/Bowflex+SelectTech+552+Dumbbells.jsp>) set: adjustable dumbbells that eliminate the need for a pair of dumbbells for each weight.

Out in the wilderness without a phone or cell service? No worries with a Spot Gen3. The little personal GPS device is able to track your location, send pre-programmed messages and the device has an S.O.S. feature that will bring help right to your location. The product is so successful that Spot just broke the [4,000 save mark](<https://www.findmespot.com/4000/>) since its release in 2007.

**Lifestyle**

Looking for a solid list of Christmas movies? Let Rotten Tomatoes do the heavy lifting for you. The super-harsh critics have devised the [25 best Christmas movies](<https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-christmas-movies/2/>), and they did a bang-up job if we don’t say so ourselves.

This time of year, the men’s fashion world is awash in sweaters. Rather than going with a triple-collared, double breasted monstrosity, invest in one of L.L.Bean’s classic [Norwegian Crewnecks](<https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/60845?feat=594-GN1&page=heritage-sweater-norwegian-crewneck>). These durable wool numbers have been around for decades, and they never go out of style.
