# The New Volvo Polestars and a Dry-Making Marmot Jacket: The Evening Rush

*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**

Aston Martin is planning to build the lightest street-legal Vantage ever, to be called the [Aston Martin Vantage GT8](<https://www.autoblog.com/2016/04/04/aston-martin-vantage-gt8-rumor/>). We don't get know numbers, save one: just 150 will be made.

The [2017 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestars](<https://www.autoblog.com/2016/04/01/polestar-s60-v60-upgrades-official/>) are getting a nice little bump in power, even after losing two cylinders to the outgoing model. The 2017 cars will have a 367hp 2.0L twin-turbocharged four-cylinder under the hood, capable of launching both vehicles to 60mph in 4.5 seconds.

[Chevrolet](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/2866/chevrolet-has-big-news-for-camaro-driving-track-rats>) has stated that they will be covering all track-related malfunctions on sixth generation, V8 Camaros. That includes the SS, 1LE and ZL1. Still, if *anything* is modified on the car, it will no longer be covered under warranty.

**Gear**

Time to level up on your garage game. The [Ryobi Module](<https://www.ryobitools.com/gdo/>) garage door opener is the slick new Bluetooth compatible opener of your dreams. (But also: dream bigger.) The Module is 20% quieter than the average garage door opener and has attachments ranging from laser-guided parking assist to wireless speakers.

Even to those living outside their mother's finished basement, the [Playstation VR](<https://uncrate.com/stuff/playstation-vr/>) headset is extremely cool. The headset utilizes 1080p and 130fps to place you right in the middle of the action. Too bad it's $400 beyond the PS4's already heavy sticker.

**Lifestyle**

Today’s beer pick takes us to [Voodoo Brewing Company](<https://www.voodoobrewery.com/index.php>) in Meadville, Pennsylvania. This small brewery absolutely dominates the PA craft beer scene. Feeling nationalistic even amid this crazy election season? Do yourself a favor and pick up a six-pack of the brand's American IPA, [Good Vibes](<https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/13371/100290/>).

Four straight days of rain means it's time to start looking for a good raincoat. Marmot has always produced good, dry-keeping shells like the [Exum Ridge Jacket](<https://marmot.com/products/details/exum-ridge-jacket?utm_source=pepperjam&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=21181>). Made with lightweight and breathable GORE-TEX, the Exum Ridge is dry without being suffocating.
