BLADE Helicopters is Uber for Super-Rich People and Mark Higgins Dominates the Isle of Man TT: The Evening Rush
Plus, a bluetooth-enabled padlock and tasty suds from Coast Brewing Company.


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
Spy shots of the 2018 Ford Fiesta have leaked, revealing some moderate cosmetic changes. With new headlights, body lines and grille, the Fiesta is coming into its own—although, Fiesta sales haven’t been great this spring.
VLF Automotive is finally selling the V8 powered Karmas (now Destinos). Powered by the same supercharged V8 found in the C6 Corvette ZR1, the beastly car cranks out 638 horsepower and 604 pound-feet of torque. Expect to pay $229,000 for the privilege of purchasing one.
Congratulations to Mark Higgins for absolutely dominating his own Isle of Man TT record. Using a 600-horsepower Subaru WRX, Higgins blasted through 37.7 miles in a mind-blowing 17 minutes and 35 seconds.
Gear
Want a padlock that opens via Bluetooth? Master Lock just released the 4400D Indoor Bluetooth Smart Padlock, which will conveniently cut down on the size of your key ring.
If you are looking to skip the LIE traffic on your way to the Hamptons, hope on a helicopter. BLADE is a NY-based helicopter company allows clients to circumvent traffic and cruise to the beach for as “low” as $495 a person.
Lifestyle
Today’s beer pick takes us to Coast Brewing Company in North Charleston, South Carolina. Founded in 2007, Coast Brewing Company was all about using local ingredients and minimizing environmental impact. If you are in the North Charleston area, we recommend you pick up Hop Art IPA.
If you need to “tighten up” for some summer festivities, try a Fitbit Aria WiFi Smart Scale for 15% off on Steep & Cheap. Capable of sending data straight to your Fitbit, this scale is the perfect way to track your “gainz.”
