Save The Not-So-Big Three...With T-Shirts!
The "Save GM" t-shirt went over so well, we decided to expand the not-official Jalopnik store offerings to now include the rest of the not-so-Big Three with Save Ford and Save Chrysler t-shirts plus an exclusive Save Detroit t-shirt. In these trying times, one needs to be sporting a kitschy t-shirt and frankly, because once you're let go from your job, you'll find more time to wear them. Buy all four and be instantly transformed into Captain America!* But get 'em now below the jump before Ford, Chrysler and GM attorneys forget this is parody and try to shut us down. Operators are standing by.

Jon Stewart Pleads With Congress To "Give The Automakers The Money"
The Daily Show's Jon Stewart isn't much of a car guy. Regardless, he's on the right track with last night's humorous quasi-opinion piece mocking the not-so-Big Three, but ending in the right place — supporting Congressional loans.

Down On The Street
1960 Cadillac Sixty-Two Hardtop Coupe
Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. The distribution of Cadillac model years seems a bit strange on the island; today's car is our third 1960 Cadillac coupe (after this gold one and this red one), but the rest of the decade of the 1960s isn't represented until we get to 1969 (which is represented by four cars: this one, this one, this one, and this one). Where are all those 1961-68 Cads?

Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The Million Dollar Oldsmobile?
With 70% of you opting for Booth Number Two yesterday, we can safely say that 12 grand is too much for a VW Rabbit pickup, no matter how nice. Today we're taking the asking price into the stratosphere, as in Barrett-Jackson-grade pricing, with our first million-dollar NPOCP candidate. More » -
New BMW Z4
2010 BMW Z4 Shows Us Its Rear
Yesterday, we saw the 2010 BMW Z4 from the front 3/4. Now, thanks to a leaked catalog rendering, we can see it from the rear. Visible for the first time are its folding hardtop and shapely haunches. The more we see of the new BMW Z4, the more we like it. [via BMWBlog]

Commenter Of The Day: Friday Night Lights Season Three Edition
Our love of Friday Night Lights the television show exceeds our love of the book and movie. We appreciate the way it presents both the way we see Texas (ungodly attractive people fueled by determination and courage) and the way Texas often is (full of desperate people clinging to Football to fulfill other unsatisfied desires). Even though almost everyone in the cast looks way too young to be in high school, and the whole murdering a guy thing, it's one of the best shows on television. The story Wes posted about the Texas man who rammed into a woman's car because God said she wan't diving like a Christian launched a dozen great one-liners, but we think abgwin captured the Texan-ness of the moment best.
