How-To Tuesday: Corvette Warning Lights Guide

If you have been driving for just about any period of time, and have never been face to face with a warning indicator, consider yourself lucky.

This is the part in the article where the people driving Corvettes without electronics start barking about the simplicity and ease of ownership of the classic cars. How having a computer just made the car more difficult to own, and harder to fix, and repair on your own, and yadda yadda yadda.

Not long ago, the car might show you a code on the steering column, you would either need to have those codes memorized, or you needed help.
