New owner of a 2014 C7 Stingray with just 1400 miles. One of the last items on my bucket list. Had a 78 silver anniversary model back in the 80s but
this is quite a change. Especially going from a 4 speed to a 7 speed manual. Takes some getting used to but what a blast. Looking forward to some helpful
information to keep this old (81 yr old) codger out of trouble.
