"C7 Tips", etc. thread?
I know in the past the C5 and C6 generations had a thread after they had been out a while listing tips, tricks, and little-known facts about each generation. Does such a thread exist for the C7? I know I found that list very informative & helpful for my C6.

Thanks for the response, but none of the "sticky" threads are what I meant - they are all DIY threads about fixing or replacing mechanical parts. The threads I am talking about from past generations were lists of how things worked, or could be made to work better, that aren't really covered in any manual. Little tricks that owners had discovered, or short cuts to make life with a C7 easier. Guess there's not such a list out there. Oh, well.

Try this for a start.

On the odometer, the numbers rotate when they change. For example, when changing from xxxx7 to xxxx8, the 7 will rotate and when it finishes rotating an 8 will appear. I had to watch the 7 (and the road) for one mile until it rotated and changed to 8. Very kool!!

Ah, so that's like a joke - only not funny.

I appreciate your pointing that out - I honestly had not noticed it. And I apologize to kevpull for my comment. A couple of you have pointed me to the types of lists I was looking for, and they are extremely interesting & helpful.
