Sounds smart to me.

But you’re not. You just said it’s going to be your daily. I would never settle on something I’d need to look at everyday.

Assuming that there are no airbags in the seats, one could buy a whole lot of seat covers for seven grand.....

Prior to this, I drove a red (absolutely can't stand that color) 2003 Ford Explorer. The Explorer and the Edge are both work cars. I don't care what they look like:-) If I'm having one of those days where I want to drive something nice I open the garage and pull out the X5 M50i. It doesn't make sense to drive a nice car every day where I have to park for work and driving on the bad streets in the city daily.

I have to agree with BYEIL on this one. Then again I did also spend 2k on a custom office chair and have my own mechanical keyboards at work since I work at a desk all day. I get a lot of enjoyment out of using items that I enjoy, it's worth the sometimes unnecessary extra cost (but hey, we are on a BMW forum so... everyone should understand this I hope)

I daily drive a Wrangler that I care for as much as my X7. Love the color and the options. I felt no need to compromise or drive something I hate just to possibly save a few bucks. Moving on.

However, still screwing around with water and coffee adjustments to get the coffee flavor just right. It’s ok and maybe I was just too used to the old one, but taking a while to get happy with the coffee the new coffee maker brews.

Replaced the Ninja coffee maker after 4 months by going back to another Cusinart. Never got the Ninja to make a good enough pot of coffee. I think part of the problem is the brew cycle takes took long. Too bad because otherwise the functional design was good. But it didn’t do the most important thing good enough.

M_Six · 08-08-2021, 06:09 PM

The Ninja is slow indeed. I usually set it up the night before so it's done when I wake up. But if I forget, I have to set it up and start it brewing, then go do other things for a bit. The thing I hate about it is that the slightest little power blip will reset the clock and timer. We don't lose power very often, but we do have one or two second blips a few times a month where the power just sort of blinks. That kills the settings on the coffee maker and, more annoyingly, the outside light timer. That switch is such a pain to set up again that I've stopped using it and have gone back to turning the outside lights on and off manually.

That said, I think the Ninja makes a decent pot of coffee. No complaints there.

A full tank of gas.

And a few hours later... parts needed to replace the front wheel bearings.

Gregrobin · 08-09-2021, 09:52 AM

New wider latte cup; man they taste so much better in a wider cup, who knew!

TiMSport · 08-09-2021, 10:11 AM

^^ I knew that. Lol. That's why whenever you order in at a decent coffee shop they always service it in a wide mouth coffee cup.

Yup, agreed. But when you get it to go they serve it in a cup, so I always used a coffee cup at home.

TiMSport · 08-09-2021, 10:46 AM

Making them at home is always a good idea

Gregrobin · 08-09-2021, 10:47 AM

I have an old lawn mower that has a "Fresh Start" fuel cap. I never knew what is was for, but it did always start on one pull even after sitting over the winter. The cap recently broke and would not tighten/seal. I was losing fuel, I think, from evaporation so I took pics then researched replacements.

Turns out it has a small reservoir used to slowly drip what I think is fuel stabilizer into the tank, who knew! I found a new cap on Amazon, but I can't find the reservoir replacements.

Here's a pic of the new one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've had that same Cuisinart coffee maker for several years now and it makes a good pot of coffee for a drip coffee maker. Good choice.

We have the same one in our Asheville condo too. My only complaint about it is every once in a while it leaks a bunch of water when we take the carafe out. I think water gets in between the basket and the place in the coffeemaker where the basket sits. Haven’t figured out why it happens sometimes but not others. It makes great coffee though.

2021 330i xDrive in Sunset Orange

Took delivery last night after seeing it (inadvertently) on June 25, but not even thinking of getting a car until July 30…

July 2019 I met a guy who gave me his loaner M340i to drive for a week or two, and i loved it so much I promised myself I'd get one in this color once I graduate. Took me 8 months after graduating to get one and I'm extremely proud of it

Congrats. Nice color. The world has enough black, white, silver and gray already.
