One Lap of the Web: Classic Mustang road trip, V4 engines and the flaming Viper

-- In honor of the Ford Mustang and it's upcoming 50th anniversary, Hagerty is taking a cross-country trip in a 1964.5 Mustang coupe. The car is solid but not exactly show-worthy, plus it has a three-speed manual transmission. In other words, all the ingredients for a really long road trip. Get the details here.

-- Speaking of old Fords, Hooniverse looks deep into their carchives to dig out information on the British Ford Corsair, with V4 and a heater as standard, plus perhaps the first use of the word "pleasanter," assuming you actually believe that's a word.

-- Public service announcement: If you modify your car, drive an old car or, as in this case, happen to be doing some work on a high-horse tuned Viper, be sure to keep a fire extinguisher handy. Very handy.
