To conclude a long week of news pegged to the 54th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, we pass along a special salutation, the video above. And in case you missed it, here's a rundown of this week's Mustang items (and a couple from the days before). It was a busy birthday week.

It's been awhile since we posted something on the infamous 11-foot-8 bridge in North Carolina. The low-slung bridge has claimed, scalped or halted 130 victims as of April 2018. Don't worry, there will be more.

South Boston got 16 inches of snow in the latest dump.

Double down.

This guy should definitely be wearing a helmet.

The Don was aiming to secretly execute the Veyron's first launch-control blastoff in captivity. I had only a rudimentary idea of what he was talking about, but it sounded like it was going to be exciting.

You have to appreciate the honesty.
