Never to late
Hello all
Bought first Vette new in “69” 350/350 Convertible w/side pipes.
Last week I took home a 2014 LT3 C7 Coupe.
YIKES!!
These things went from the Flintstones to the Jetsons. Didn’t realize I needed to be a computer scientist to figure it out.
That said!, I apologize in advance for my numbass questions 🥴

Congrats on your C7 - yes, a world of difference between a C3 and a newer Corvette.

At my age, it’s like giving me the keys to the “Starship Enterprise”
The sales team were not exactly helpful when I picked it up. They handed me the keys and said “Have a nice day”
Thank the Lord for Utube

Welcome to the Forum, Ed, and congratulations on your C7! 
You are correct about the significant changes in the 45 years between your ‘69 and your ‘14, although there is still a lot to appreciate about the early C3s.

Most memorable appreciation would probably be its magnetic ability to attract girls 😜
