Sort of new guy with '04 LSV8

[Chico Dave]

Last August I got my 2004 autumn red metallic, black interior, V8 LS. It had 50,000 miles at the time. It has 17" eight spoke chrome wheels, overhead third brake light, adjustable rear headrests, sunroof, and 6CD sound system. No navigation or heated rear seats.
When I got it it had lumpy tires and an infernal squeak in the instrument cluster. I got it a new set of bargain tires and they were out of round. Got them replaced, still out of round. Ground forced X3, still bumpy. New Michelins, less bumpy. Ground forced again, smooth. Finally.
I got the squeak repaired. It turns out the cluster had been out and whoever re-installed it didn't tighten the screws all the way. It's finally how I imagined it when I first saw the ad at Sacramento Infinity. I'm really starting to like it.

[Chico Dave]

I'm not too familiar but Sacramento does not impress me. Chico is a pretty nice small city with a good bit going on.

I was tired of every one thinking they were someone special in crapramento when actually they wern't living in a hole in the wall city. Its funny no one here even knows were sacramento is.
