# Takata Issues Another Recall and Honda Brings Us a Civic Hatchback: 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**

A [1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350](<https://www.thedrive.com/vintage/3329/this-beater-66-shelby-gt350-is-a-dusty-diamond-for-100-000>) will usually go for over $200,000. In this particular case, a less-than-mint Shelby GT350 has emerged from 40 years of storage and is expected to hit the auction block at Bonhams’ Greenwich Concours D’Elegance Auction this May for around $100,000. A bargain, for those that don't mind a little rust.

Spy shots of the [2017 Honda Civic Hatchback](<https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1045383_2017-honda-civic-hatchback-spy-shots#image=100553675>) have leaked. Sporting extra trunk space and aggressive lines, the hatchback is already our favorite variant. In addition, Honda has announced a six-speed manual transmission for the entire Civic line come 2017.

Bad news for [Takata](<https://www.autoblog.com/2016/05/04/federal-investigation-takata-airbags-recall-inflators/>): another 35 million cars are about to get recalled due to exploding airbags. Shrapnel, as ever, is a serious issue.

**Gear**

You need high air quality like you need, uh... oxygen. Fortunately, the [Jacob Jensen Air Quality Monitor](<https://shop.jacobjensendesign.com/node/42>) is a compact device that carefully measures pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and much more, breaking them down into easily understood readings. If you live in a city with less than ideal air quality, it's good to know when it's better to chill indoors.

There are plenty of sufficient headlamps on the market but most have a fairly limited field of vision, except for the [Halo](<https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1069601559/one80-light-the-headlamp-reinvented-full-180-illum?ref=newest>) headlamp. Made up of 20 LED lights, this 360-lumen headlamp provides users with 180 degrees of illumination. Check out the Halo on Kickstarter and preorder yours now for $75.

**Halo**

**Lifestyle**

Today’s beer pick takes us to [Toppling Goliath Brewing Company](<https://www.tgbrews.com/index.html>) in Decorah, Iowa. Founded in 2009 by Clark and Barb Lewey, this small NE Iowa brewery has done an unreal job of cranking out amazing stouts and DIPAs from their 30-barrel system. Constantly hitting above a 95 rating on Beer Advocate, Toppling Goliath has gotten our undivided attention. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on some of their beer, we recommend [King Sue](<https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/23222/113674/>), a double IPA.

Picnics are pretty damn fantastic. You get to enjoy mother nature while eating her fruits. The heroes at Steep & Cheap are selling an [ALPS Mountaineering table](<https://www.steepandcheap.com/alps-mountaineering-regular-dining-table?skid=ALM0075-ANNALU-ONESIZ&ti=UExQIFJ1bGUgQmFzZWQ6TmV3IEFycml2YWxzIE9uIFNhbGU6MToxMzo=>) for 50% off, greatly increasing the civility of your al fresco meals.
