# Ford’s Power Pack for the Mustang GT and a New App for First Responders: The Evening Rush

*Th**e 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 is now offering several “power packs”](<https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1105256_ford-offering-power-packs-to-make-your-mustang-gt-closer-to-a-shelby-gt350>) that allow owners to get their Mustang GTs a little closer to the insane power levels found in the GT350. The first pack is a modest K&N cold air intake while subsequent power packs include the GT350 intake and a throttle body spacer.

Mercedes-Benz has released an app for firefighters called [Rescue Assist](<https://www.autoblog.com/2016/07/29/mercedes-rescue-assist-augmented-reality-safety/>). Using a form of virtual reality, the app allows first responders determine how to extricate a patient without electrocuting themselves or causing further damage.

So people dropped a [Corvette V8 into the beloved Mazda MX-5 Miata](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/4630/good-god-its-a-525-hp-mazda-miata-with-a-corvette-v-8>). Is this completely unnecessary? Is it one of the coolest engine swaps I've ever heard of? For sure.

**Gear**

Rope lights are pretty sweet if you are a freshman in college or some kid at a fancy summer camp. But few rope lights actually illuminate an area well, except the [Luminoodle Light Rope by Power Practical](<https://powerpractical.com/products/luminoodle-led-light-rope?variant=6258382915>). Producing 180 lumens of light, the Luminoodle is a perfect alternative to a flashlight at the campsite.

**Luminoodle**

[Timex Watches](<https://gearmoose.com/timex-originals-university-collection/>) has come out with a collection of affordable watches called the university collection that are modeled after old school collegiate lettering. Very crisp and just $45.

**Lifestyle**

Today’s beer pick takes us to [4 Hands Brewing Company](<https://4handsbrewery.com/>) in St. Louis, Missouri. This is a fairly large craft brewery with 20,000 square feet of brew space and a comprehensive barrel aging area. If you are able to visit, we recommend the [Incarnation IPA](<https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/27870/204737/>).

Medicine balls are easy to use and pay real dividends. Rogue Fitness currently has their [20lb medballs](<https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-froning-series-medball-20lb-closeout>) on sale for 15% off.
