*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 will be upgrading the [5.2L V8](<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/ford-to-upgrade-the-shelby-gt350-s-52l-voodoo-v8-develop-new-transmissions-101972.html>) in the Shelby GT350, according to a United Auto Worker’s agreement.

Mazda has revealed the Limited Edition Mazda Miata [MX-5 Sport Recaro](<https://practicalmotoring.com.au/car-news/uk-only-limited-edition-mazda-mx-5-sport-recaro-revealed/>), with everything from an aero kit to Bilstein shocks and a limited-slip differential. Only 600 of these puppies will be produced, and stock is limited to the U.K. We can’t have nice things.

**Mazda**

The handsome 2017 [Mercedes-Benz SL](<https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/mercedes-2017-sl-shows-its-restyled-face-in-leaked-photos/>) leaked online, just in time for the [L.A. Auto Show.](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/878/your-guide-to-the-2015-l-a-auto-show>)

**Gear**

SpareOne has created an [emergency cell phone](<https://www.att.com/cellphones/spareone/emergency-phone-prepaid.html#sku=sku7760245>) that runs off AA batteries. The phone is capable of holding a charge for over a year and has a tracking function to ensure rescuers can find you.

**AT&T**

No matter what outdoor activity you do, [stay hydrated](<https://www.outsideonline.com/2009211/hydrate-hydrate-hydrate>). The folks over at Outside Online have picked out three packs to keep that H2O at the ready.

**Lifestyle**

Time to put some real artwork on your walls. Ex-racing vinyl layer Joel Clark is now taking his talent to the masses with a limited-edition run of Speed Icons prints and original collages.

[Traverse City Beer Week](<https://www.traversecity.com/tcbw/>) starts today. If anyone finds themselves in the Lake Michigan region, we highly recommend you get involved in TCBW.
