Automotive
Honda plans to show a hatchback version of the Civic at Geneva Auto Show next week. Spy shots of the hatchback indicate a center mounted exhaust, so we have high hopes that a Si or R version is in the works.
Last week Hennessey Performance came out with a 1,032hp Challenger and now they are giving it a friend. Hennessey has announced that they will be offering their HPE1000 package for the Dodge Charger. The Charger will have the exact same engine setup as the Challenger, a twin-turbocharged V8. Is this the first 1,000+ horsepower standardized tuning package for a sedan? We sure can’t think of anything else.
Sad news for our friends over in Australia. GM has decided that Holden will cease production by the end of 2017. Yes, that means no more rear wheel drive V8 sedans! Sorry blokes.
Gear

Lifestyle
Today’s beer pick takes us to Brandon, Vermont and Foley Brothers Brewing. Nestled in Rutland County, this small craft brewery appears to have one mission, make tasty suds! Although we haven’t confirmed this mission statement, beers like Pieces of Eight Imperial IPA speak for themselves. Keep up the good work guys!
