I gotta say, nothing screams old geezer (yes, I'm one too...) quite like using the word "doohickies"!!!


Although, I can't agree with your feelings about my beloved rock n' roll music...

Sarge can also pipe the music from his phone via Bluetooth, that is if he has his music collection on it. If not, convert the CD tracks to MP3s in Windows 7+, put them on the phone, and you're done. The phone should be already paired to the car.

What make you think Sarge has a smartphone? Phones are devices with rotary dials that are attached to walls, right?

Just rubbing it in Sarge.

In all honesty, I miss the 12 disc cd changer in my c5. Much better sound than those USB flash drives.

Yeah, that's a good one, too! Although, my $0.02 is that it doesn't quite scream "get off my lawn" the way doohickes does.

That's the problem with music in compressed formats like mp3; the sound just isn't as good. If they could find a way to include a turntable so I could play vinyl records while I cruise in my Vette, I'd be thrilled.

I guess you haven't heard but the next thing to be eliminated is the need for an actual driver...

Well, considering the day I'm having, I needed a good laugh. I'm glad I opened this thread. Really, though, where did they hide the slot for the CD?

Yup, that's exactly what I said. And exactly like it is.

You know I was going to point out that the younger drivers just really don't appreciate the ... fidelity... that is found on CD's......

But then I remembered... that the absolutely best sound I ever had was in my 73 Vega GT with the Lear 8 track and the 6x9 boxes in the back playing the Allman Brothers One Way Out.. live at the Fillmore East ... driving back and forth between NYC & DC...

How did you not know that the C7 didn't come with a CD player?

And we might as well cover this now, when you make slow tight parking lot turns, the front tires are going to skip.

Sarge, you're a good man to put up with all this teasing.

I nominate Sarge as an Honorary Member of the Corvette Forum.
