In its second generation, which arrived in 2022, the latest update comes as the model's mid-cycle refresh. With it comes revised appearances both inside and out, including redesigned head and taillights, new front and rear bumper designs, and a complete rehash of the interior dashboard layout. The updated NX also incorporates Lexus' newest logo-less insignia, which is now seen on the NX's steering wheel. But the changes aren't just all cosmetic as the new NX also benefits from powertrain upgrades, especially with the plug-in hybrid electric model, which can travel up to 40 miles on all-electric range, depending on the trim. read more AdvertisementAdvertisement Learn More Stan's Polar Drip Wax Stan's latest chain treatment brings drip-format convenience to a technology the brand says it exclusively offers: polar wax, a plant-based lubricant whose molecules bond chemically to steel rather than simply coating over it. That means deeper penetration into chain rollers and pins, better retention and, sayeth Stan's, 200-plus miles of low-friction performance between applications. A bottle made from recycled sea plastic, a PFAS- and PTFE-free formula and USA manufacturing round out the package. Pro tip: Score 25% off by bundling with Stan's Drivetrain Cleaner ($28.50 for the pair), the perfect prep for polar bonding. read more $18 at Stan's Starlight Distillery 10-Year Mizunara Reserve Starlight Distillery's 10-Year Mizunara Reserve is a single-barrel, cask-strength bourbon drawn from a three-grain mash of 60 percent corn, 20 percent rye and 20 percent malted barley — all grown on the distillery's 700-acre Indiana farm. After a decade in fire-charred new American oak, the whiskey finished in a 200-to-500-year-old Japanese Mizunara cask, landing at 110 proof. Only 250 bottles exist, making it the oldest Mizunara-finished bourbon Starlight has ever released. read more AdvertisementAdvertisement $250 at Starlight Distillery Carhartt WIP WIP Wash Bag The WIP Wash Bag makes keeping track of essentials a breeze, thanks to its transparent construction.
