Cover: This is where we used to put all the new BMW 3-series and Chevrolet Corvette variants. Now, you'll notice a bunch of new and unexpected cars, like the Miata.

Noted Notables:

* Notice how the cover image itself no longer sucks.

* OCDers such as myself find that the red and blue bars around the "and" now extend that last pica down to the baseline. You'll sleep better tonight knowing that, trust me.

Table of Contents: Whereas Car and Driver's previous table of contents (TOC) used to have all the easy readability of Finnegan's Wake, we tried to make the revised TOC a model of clarity and simplicity.

Noted Notables:

* All the big features are on the front page.

* All the other departments are on the second page.

* We decided not to describe TOC on the TOC itself, for fear that time-space would collapse upon itself.

Columns: Traditionally, there have been two types of C/D readers: Those who skip the columns, and those who write several hundred letters a month describing their various disappointments with said columns. With this new design, we expect this to remain unchanged.

Upfront: With all the Internets out there, how can a monthly magazine do breaking news with a straight face? It can't, which is why we're not doing it anymore (Praise the Lord! —Ed.). Upfront will instead be a mini-features section with long-range forecasting, infographics, humor pieces and standing elements like Tech. Dept., which breaks down some recent piece of new technology.

Noted Notables:

* This section opens with a big marquee that carries a mini-TOC over it, giving you a free first hit of all the dope (Dropping the precious slang...you know, for kids! — Ed.) inside.

* Arrows! Arrows!

* The rail-type navigation at the top of the section's pages is an old C/D hallmark, and it's back because it looks cool and it works. With a glance up at the page corner, you always know where you are, even if you already knew you were on the toilet.

Feature Well:

Rigidly formatted websites like this here Jalopyneck are great at delivering quick info, scoops, photos, and interaction, but in general even with great photos the web doesn't allow for the visual differentiation of one story from the next, and it struggles to impose a hierarchy on stories. A magazine is different. Great photography and art direction make each print story unique and allow the reader to sink into the page. Smart story pacing lets the reader know what's most important. This redesign plays to those strengths of the printed page, and does what this medium does best: Epic visuals, longer stories and comparison tests, and great packages jam-packed with stuff.

The Charts: We made the comparison-test charts easier to use by putting all the info in one place, rather than scattering the various pieces around like so many chicken parts in a Santeria ritual.

Noted Notables:

* The bar graphs are back! Long the best part of the entire goddamn magazine, our comparative bar graphs return to the road-test page.

* Also, check out the sweet fake magnifying glass in there. Designing that took Nathan, like, three hours.

Drivelines: What's a car magazine without car reviews? Nothing, that's what. The revised Drivelines section will provide more piquant opinion and more background on the cars we cover.

Noted Notables:

* The thumbs-up/thumbs-down graphic replaces the "highs/lows," because Recreational Drugs Fortnightly threatened to sue.

Gearbox: At Car and Driver, we test stuff. We don't just paraphrase the press release for the latest auto-fellator - we actually do the hard research. Every month, the Gearbox section will put a category of accessories or tools or other aftermarket hardware through its paces.

What I'd Do Differently:

Wherein we try to get really important people to tell us how they've screwed up. Rarely works.

(You can read Car and Driver by subscribing — it's only, like, $10 a year — or you can buy an issue at a newsstand — it's only, like, $10 per issue. — Ed.)

Your vocally expressed disdain has drummed out writers; your wit has preserved editorial personality even as our front pages have become more professional; you've steered the discussions, often way off-topic; but just as often you've suggested better headlines and story angles; former commenters such as Ben Wojdyla have written themselves into paid writing jobs; and reader-tipsters have supplied many of our best stories.

Our new commenting system has even allowed those that want to go off-topic to do so and still allow the discussion on the posts seen by new readers to the site to stay inviting and relatively on-topic.

And yet we've always insisted that tips and letters to the editor are sent in by email and mediated by our editors; that discussions stay on topics that we determine; and that our writers are the only ones who can initiate stories on the site. No longer.

With the launch of Jalopnik Open Forums, we're allowing readers to post tips, spy photos or hoon of the day entries directly from a form on the front page. Readers can also initiate discussions on any topic they choose simply by including a Twitter-style hashtag in their post. Better yet — you can even create your own rooms just by coming up with a unique hashtag. It'll get an RSS feed and everything — so promote the page somewhere you like. You want a Ray Wert Is Awesome page, just make it. Similarly, you can make a Ray Wert Is Horrible page as well. And commenters can expand on a story, or rebut a post, just as now.

Starred commenters will play an even more important role — as moderators of the discussion. Your decisions to respond and promote certain comments will decide the ebb and flow of these new forum-like tag pages. So use your power well, or you may find yourself losing it.

Any commenter will also find they're getting some fun added features — like the ability to see comment response notifications at the top of the front page and easier login up top of the page.

All our readers will see something else pretty cool. Slide down to the bottom of the front page and click the next button. Rather than a page view-maximizing new page, you'll see something more "refreshing." Go ahead and try it for yourself.

We'll of course expect there to be problems over the next few hours. Why don't you use the #cotomersevis page to let us know about them.

Other than that, we've no idea what uses people will make of these forums — or what they'll create. But we suspect that many of them will be mischievous. And that's fine — because we like mischief too.

If you've clicked play on this driving video from a Ferrari F-430-mounted Nano you've likely already recoiled in horror at the terrible wind noise. The Nano, or any small video camera with an on-board mic for that matter, will pick up horrible, horrible amounts of wind noise when mounted on the front of your car.

The solution? Stick the camera on the rear license plate facing rearwards. That plate is almost always located in an area of negative air pressure so you'll eliminate the wind noise. As an added bonus, the camera will be perfectly located to pick up noise from the exhaust, squealing rear tires and the shocked faces of drivers you've just passed.

Thanks for the tip, Timothy.

As bitchin' as the many mullet machines are in the post, what's even more rad is all the poses. We asked for "Camaro + pizza" pics and got a ton of Camaro + pizza + owner + the occasional Papa John's team member. Fantastic work everyone.

The images was posted on the site of the Benny Boyd GM SuperStore in Lamesa, Texas under the dealership photos. It's now been removed, but we have the screenshot and the Camaro SS is still for sale. These leads to many questions:

Is the main in the photo a representative of Benny Boyd GM SuperStore? Is he Benny Boyd himself? Maybe it's someone who really wanted the Camaro SS and was scaring people off from buying the vehicle. Either way, we think it makes a statement most Camaro SS drivers would support.

• We Join Papa John's Quest For His Camaro
• Jalopnik Reader Finds Papa John's Quarter-Million-Dollar Camaro
• How Jalopnik Reunited Papa John With His Camaro
• Papa John's To Give Away Free Pizza To Camaro Owners

According to the Papa John's corporate office, any Camaro owner who drives to their nearest Papa John's restaurant will get a large one-topping pizza for free. This only applies tomorrow, Wednesday, August 26th, and there is a limit of one pizza per Camaro and one Camaro per visit.

You're welcome.

The story really begins in 1983, when Papa John Schnatter's father was on the verge of closing his tavern because of a bankruptcy. Faced with few choices, Papa John sold the only asset he had to his name: A Bumblebee-striped black-and-gold 1971½ Chevy Camaro Z28.

With the $2,800 he received for the Camaro he was able to save the family business and launch Papa John's, a business that now numbers at more than 3,000 pizzerias in 26 countries with a market value of three-quarters of a billion dollars. He had a lot, but Papa John still missed that Camaro. So Schnatter started looking for it.

"For 26 years I wanted the car back," said Schnatter. "[A friend] looked for that car for most of the 1990s and it surprised me when we couldn't find it." They even hired an ex-FBI agent to search for the car, turning up nothing.

Schnatter even went so far as to have a replica of the original 1971½ Camaro Z28 built to emulate the original, though with an upgraded sound system and A/C. Still, Schnatter was unsatisfied and hit the road in search of the car, first offering up a $25,000 reward, then upping the ante to $250,000 when the first sum failed to find the car. Even though many cars of the era have been sent to the crusher, he said he "never gave up hope, I never ever give up on anything. For some reason I didn't think anyone smashed it up."

When Papa John stopped off in Houston in search of the car he took me for a drive. All Schnatter could talk about was that original car, telling me:

"It had the split-bumper, sunroof, BF Goodrich tires with steel wheels, I swapped out the rear end with a Positrac differential - and now the speedometer reads 10 MPH over the actual speed. It had a velvet interior, unlike the vinyl one in this car, it didn't have A/C, and the ash tray in back is falling off."

These were helpful clues, but there was something else that struck us. He told the tale of watching the car drive away or, rather, about being unable to because he was so sad.

And this is where Jalopnik readers come in. After first hearing about the search on television, the Slones of Indiana found our original story and the details sounded familiar so they reached out to us on our Facebook page where our Commenter admin Al Navarro noticed it.

Their story of a young man selling his car, unable to watch it go, instantly struck me as familiar to what John himself had told me in the car. After confirming some details it was clear this was the car so we contacted Papa John's people and let them know.

Sadly for the Slones, they'd sold the car to Jeff Robinson of Flatwoods, Kentucky. Fortunately for them, John has extended an offer of a finder's fee of $25,000 to the family for helping out with the tip. And fortunately for everyone, Jeff considered building a more tame street version of his Z28 so he kept many of the original parts, which helped them identify the car.

So how did the car go so long without being found? There are two reasons. First, the original sale occurred just across the border in Indiana, where there was no electronic record kept of sales transactions at the time. Second, the car was not a 1972 as remembered by John, but actually a 1971½, which is why Robinson didn't believe the car was the right one at first.

And what condition was the car in when John eventually drove out to Flatwoods to pick it up yesterday? Fantastic condition. Jeff had seriously upgraded the motor for drag racing and it was now putting out 825 HP.

According to Robinson it's now "Probably the fastest pizza delivery car in the world, it runs a 9.55 quarter-mile at 141 MPH."

Despite the added power, newer hood and upgraded tires, the Schnatter family loves the car.

"Now there's a big old smile on my face, I like the car, I like the way it drives, it's fast," exclaimed Schnatter. "My wife's a redneck and she loves a muscle car. On one hand I want to put it back the way it was, and on the other hand i like the way he put it back together."

Though he's sad to part with it, Jeff Robinson made out okay.

"Jeff loved the car and he knows I'm going to take car of it and it'll take a special place in the hearts of the people at Papa John's," said John, adding "he was kind enough to sell it for $250,000."

Robinson isn't sure whether or not he'll build another Z28 of that era or try for something else. Either way, Papa John has promised to deliver the motor back if he decides to restore it to stock condition.

In the end, the story of a car that launched a global pizza empire has a happy ending not only for the young enthusiast who bravely parted with his dream car to pursue a different dream, but for another car enthusiast who was lucky enough to treat the car well. And really, isn't that what Jalopnik is all about?

UPDATE! In addition to helping reunite a Camaro lover with his car, Jalopnik helped enable this bit of generosity: Free Papa John's pizza for Camaro owners. Click here for full details.

Come back tomorrow morning for the exclusive story on how Jalopnik and its readers helped reunite Papa John Schnatter with his beloved Camaro Z28.

The sordid tale is over at Consumerist, but here's the skinny: After several unsuccessful attempts to get satisfaction over previously pilfered coinage, our hero placed a camera in the passenger side door and turned it on when he left the truck at the dealer for service. What the unflinching eye caught was pretty salacious. Not only did it see a Hampton Toyota service rep brazenly cleaning out his coin door, they also rifled through his center console, glove box, and ash tray, as well as checking his key-ring pill holder to see if there was anything interesting in there. Oh, then a rep plugged in a laptop and started watching porn in the truck. After sending a DVD of and letter regarding the misdeeds to the dealer and copies to the local newspapers, news station, and Toyota regional rep, he managed to get some satisfaction.
[Consumerist]

UPDATE: Since the incident was initially reported, the dealership has addressed Jason's complaints and the owner of the dealership, Mark Hampton, has produced this video to address the public regarding the three employees shocking behavior.

"You guys are fucking idiots. When someone dies cause of this, you are going to get your asses sued.

Get a life looser.

We're assuming the e-mailer is talking about our how to hack a road sign feature and then the hacking that occurred to display "Jalopnik Rules." Look buddy, we very clearly said "don't hack the road signs." We can't help it if people love Jalopnik too much to listen! But hey, at least they spelled everything correctly.

I've actually hesitated to review several cars because of the problem. It's happened at 85 MPH in the fast lane, at 4am in quiet rural neighborhoods, in front of the NYPD and, last weekend, it happened in front of my girlfriend's parents. Each time I've struggled to turn the alarm off, resorting to at-speed, in-neutral engine restarts, inserting and removing the key, hitting the lock and unlock buttons and nothing ever seems to work, eventually the alarm just turns itself off. I've contacted VW looking for an explanation to no avail. I was beginning to think there might be something to the "Volkwagen's all have electrical problems" stereotype after all.

It turns out the key's design and my anatomy just aren't a good combination. See the panic button mounted on the side of the key fob? My knee hits it, setting off the alarm. The trick is to insert the key with the panic button on the bottom, then as you twist it to start the engine, it ends up on top, safely out of reach of my 34" inseam.

Do I feel stupid? You bet, but I can't tell you how relieved I am to figure this out. I can enjoy driving Volkswagens again!

Special thanks to Big Phil at Mt. Gretna Lake and Beach for helping me figure this out.

This is the kind of story which makes us pine for the old days of the neighborhood parts store with clerks who knew by heart the part number for valve seals from a GM 235 inline six and had a set in a shelf in the back. Here, our hero, James, regales us with a tale of inconceivably bad service; A 45 minute period on hold where he decided to get in the car, drive down to the store, and figure out what the hell was going on that made it so difficult for them to quote him a price for his seals. This is his story:

So I got an event coming up at the local track...should be a fairly fun event and I want to take the truck out. Well....a few weeks ago, due to my own stupidity, I blew my hub seals on my rear end...and due to me catching the fucking flu...and other shit...I never got around to fixing them. So this is the week OF and I need the damn seals, right?

So I call up AutoZone:

"Thank you for calling AutoZone, how can I help you?"
"Yeah, I'm looking for axle seals of a ford 9" rear end..."
"Oooh. umm...hold on a second...." and he puts me on hold.

....15 minutes later...someone ELSE picks up...

"...umm thank you for calling AutoZone, who are you holding for?"
"I'm holding for someone to help me find some axle seals..."
"Oh.. ummm. Huh.. hold on a second." and HE puts me on hold.

...10 minutes in, I'm getting pissed and I decide that this is a battle of wills. Them waiting for me to hang up....me waiting for them to get tired of the phone beeping and to pick up.

...10 MORE minutes....and I can feel my will about to give in completely to anger. FUCK THIS! While STILL on hold, I jump in my daily driver and drive my ass up to the AutoZone I'm on hold with!

I get there about 10 minutes later...and there's 4 fuckers working...and like two people shopping...and one of them hits me up instantly:

"Welcome to AutoZone, how can I help you?"
...as I walk behind their counter to look for their phone...

"Yeah....do you have someone on hold right now?"
"Uh excuse me?"
...I point at the blinking, beeping phone...
"DO...YOU...HAVE...SOMEONE...ON...HOLD...RIGHT...NOW!?"
"Uhh...I guess so."
"You guess so?? Let me help you. You DO have someone on hold...ME! I've been on hold for 45 fucking minutes! What in the HELL is THAT all about?? Can you give me one good reason why you've had me on hold for almost a fucking hour??"
"Well...uhh..I mean....uhhh...I was waiting for him (he points) to pick up.."
"He DID pick up...and put me right the fuck back on hold!"

"Uuhh..err....ahh...ummm..."
"Don't give me any bullshit about how busy you are...there's no one fucking in here! If my fucking question was simply too difficult for you, TELL me."
"Well...what do you need sir?"
"What I needed was axle seals...but what I need NOW is to talk to YOUR fucking manager."
"Yes sir."...and scampers off to get El Jefe....
Manager: "Yes sir, what seems to be the problem?"

...I tell him, "....and I'm STILL on hold!" That's right...I still haven't hung up...

He looks at the phone....picks it up...and says, "Uhh Autzone, may I help you?"
I yell into MY phone, "IT'S ME FUCKER!!!" He jumps and hangs up.
"I'm hoping that isn't your policy here! That if you CAN'T answer the question, just put the person on hold until they hang up?"
"Uh no sir!"
"Well lets see if y'all CAN help me...now that I'm here."
He goes over to the computer...

I tell him, "I need axle seals for a 31 spline ford 9" rear end."
"What's it out of?"
"Hell...i don't know? Almost any 70s ford truck I'm sure."
"Well I need to know what it's out of."
"I do not know..."
"Well what's it in now?"
"That's not gonna help you."
"Sure it is"
"No...it won't. There's no way to search for the rear end?"
"No...so what's it in?"
"A 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO ok?? Does THAT help???"
"No."
"See?"

He connected me with someone at another AutoZone that actually WAS helpful...and I went over there to get the parts...

An all-too-nice Toyota spokesperson was all-too-happy to humor us, saying:

We usually use the descriptors for either vehicle, like "Prius hybrids/vehicles" or "Yaris hatchbacks/subcompacts," etc. Heard this was a point of discussion! Hope that helps!

So there you go Autoblog, now you know.

Also, something else happened — we think like 1.3 million Yarises are being recalled. But not to worry happy hybrid owners, no Prii appear to be affected.

Be sure to head over and give it a read, but the email describes a place where the sun rises and sets on curiosity and innovation, where you're more or less free to do as you want and where everyone is treated with respect even in the face of conflict. Sounds like a total fallacy to us. Maybe even Honda propaganda. Take the opening paragraph for instance:

Honda is a freak, by American and even Japanese standards. There is an absolutely astounding amount of room here for anyone to work once they get in. The view is Global and the focus is Local. No one has ever told me what to do. One Rule - Dream. We find our way on an individual level, as reason, interest and inclination dictate, and this is an ultimate form of unequaled personal power to affect the future. In Honda, our own best interests are at the forefront of every day life at work and home. In engineering, there are no lines of demarcation segregating futurists from the present applications of science. There is nothing so esoteric that doesn't deserve a close inspection, and there is a common belief here in doing things the Hard Way. Even so, the core philosophy of the company could best be described as the pursuit of Joys.

It's practically impossible to believe such a place actually exists. If it did you'd have the happiest, most productive, best engineers in the world turning out superior products and doing it while leading the way in innovation. Oh, wait a minute. [BoingBoing]

Sir/Madam, First i would like to introduce myself i am Alan Berj xxxxx , i own a Simca Aronde Mo: 1959 and its been a long while that it was in the garage , so i wanted to know Simca's factory in case i need spare parts. thanks for the co-operation Please mention in the mail subject ( Simca Aronde ) Best Regards, Alan

So there you go Alan, Jalopnik cotomer sevis at it's best. It's not the Simca Factory, but don't say we never did anything for you.

Making the Books
There are more or less two kinds of books when it comes to automobile repair. The first and most expensive are the factory service manuals. These are the same books the guys and gals at the dealership use to fix errant connecting rods or chase faulty electronics. If you're behind the wheel of something more or less modern, then the factory service manual may be the only option. Next in line are another kind of service manual. Companies like Haynes and Chiltons use factory service manuals along with cameras to dismantle then reassemble automobiles to produce their own repair books. These are usually geared more towards the shade free mechanic. Finding a service or repair manual is much like finding a car.

The Dealer
The first and most expensive option is to step up to the parts counter at the dealership. If the owner's manual in the glovebox has the same year on the cover as that magnetic calendar on the fridge, then forking over a pile of cash may be the only option until some time passes. This is usually a fairly painful financial experience. Forgo the tru-cote and ask for a copy of the factory sevis or repair manual instead.

Made of Wood
Call us crusty, but we still cling to this antiquated idea that a bookstore is still a good place to find books. Bookstores that specialize in motorized interests are a good place to find a service manual for that old SIMCA, oil-spewing NSU, or Fiat 500 stored in several five-gallon buckets in the backyard. There are even bookstores that specialize solely in automobile factory service manuals! Not surprisingly a number of these booksellers have something called a computer to help reunite books and car owners.

Swap Meet!
Summer means the return of flip flops and swap meets. The factory issue service manual and NOS windshield wiper knob for that '63 Plymouth Fury are out there. Don't just hit the automotive swaps. Branch out into flea markets and garage sales and keep your eyes open for a dog eared copy of the Chevy II twin-book set. Sometimes a book can garner interest in potential car purchases. Warning! A sawbuck plunked down for a seemingly harmless service manual can result in countless thousands of dollars sunk into project cars.

Message Board
One of the best ways to glean information about a particular make and model of automobile is to join a community that already exists. If you're the proud owner of something worthy of having its own message board then chances are good that someone truly dedicated has spent the time to either scan in the pages of the service manual, or host a digital version for members. Another great feature of message boards is that someone, perhaps even the chiseler upstanding citizen that sold you that bucket, has usually had the same mechanical problem before.

The Interwebs
A quick scan of the eBay or similar will reveal hundreds if not thousands of automotive service and repair manuals. Some of these are of the factory service variety. Others of the Hay-Chil sort. While we have scored quite a few genuine factory service manuals from eBay and other fine online retailers, there are also a great deal of crummy bootleg CD-ROM style deals floating around. Beware of the auctions accompanied by a heap of exclamation points. There are certainly more ways to find that service manual, so now it's time to tell the story of where you found your book or digital version in the comments.

Bryant, who apparently once lived in the 818 and now makes his home in Alberta, Canada, has a bone to pick with the Loverman. Apparently, Bumbeck's pictures of Jonny taking an informal survey of the current crop of pickups' loadover heights didn't pass muster with Bryant, so he decided to complain. And complain. And complain. We're guessing there's not much to do in High River, AB. Click through for some unintentionally hilarious mundanity.

5:17 PM
Bryant From Alberta, Canada: hmmm
BFAC: not sure who this is :p
Davey G. Johnson: Davey from Jalopnik. Who are you?
BFAC: ahh
BFAC: this is Bryant from Alberta, Canada
BFAC: :)
DGJ: Hi Bryant. I don't think I know you.
BFAC: not a bad time to get to know you more.. do you access any forums where my name is Sanosuke
BFAC: :D
DGJ: No.
BFAC: do you access any forums?
DGJ: Not really, no.
BFAC: where would Jalopink?
BFAC: err where would Jalopink happen to be
DGJ: Where are we based?
BFAC: I am in Alberta, Canada in High River
DGJ: I'm in Los Angeles.
BFAC: ahhh Los Angeles.. I've lived in Northridge for 4 years
5:20 PM
DGJ: Ah.
BFAC: ah now I know who you are.. you're the guy that is one of the people that exist in the form of www.jalopnik.com
BFAC: and also the source of the misleading photos from one of your people
DGJ: Actually, I exist in the form of myself. I merely write for the site.
BFAC: Jonny Liberman do you know him? he's one of the columnists
DGJ: Yeah, Jonny's a friend.
BFAC: I wanted to comment on his pictures — as they were very misleading
DGJ: Which pictures?
BFAC: particularly the ones where he compares the trucks with his arm
BFAC: you may note that he does not stand in the exact same spot in all of the pictures for the sake of relativity
DGJ: Oh lord.
DGJ: Get a sense of humor.
BFAC: no. I will not, because its very misleading.
DGJ: Dude. Seriously.
DGJ: Nobody said it was science.
BFAC: you need to evaluate good journalism vs bad journalism
BFAC: honestly.
DGJ: *rolls eyes*
BFAC: if you want to roll eyes, then be honest with me, why did he ever bother to put those pics up
DGJ: Because it was a fun look at loadover heights.
BFAC: right, where does it say that in the article then?
DGJ: It was implied.
5:25 PM
BFAC: if it was implied, it was done in POOR fashion.
DGJ: Obviously you're not familiar with the spirit of our blog.
BFAC: and its not clear that you don't understand the objectivity of good journalism
DGJ: Anyway, dude. Enough of this. I'm gonna go eat.
BFAC: in writing.
BFAC: yeah.. eat and think about your columnist's sense of humor and "implied" good journalism
BFAC: I hate to say this, but your columnist needs to quit picking on the trucks.
DGJ: Yeah, I'll do that. Thanks for the massive waste of time, pal.
BFAC: see you and enjoy your meal
BFAC: not a massive waste of time
BFAC: it was your choice
BFAC: not mine
5:30 PM
BFAC: besides that article only got a measly 6 comments.. that shows how bad that thing's written
BFAC: get real kid.
