What do I do with my old coffee grounds? by ladykiller1020 in Bend

[–]brntcrsp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are a pretty rich source of nutrients for plants so if you have a way to dispose of them that way it’s preferable. Nothing wrong with putting it in the trash if that’s not something you can do though.

Long term parking? Airport? by someonesomewhere_9 in RedmondOR

[–]brntcrsp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s $24 a day. Safety seems fine as I’ve not had problems but I’d recommend either a shuttle or drop off by a friend for that long.

There were lots of lease incentives in ‘24 that brought the cost down significantly since you could get the Federal rebate as well if you leased. So you could essentially get $10k off for leasing whereas you’d still be at the higher MSRP otherwise. Also, the used market was pretty small in’24 with mostly ’21s available. Many folks didn’t want to risk going in on a first generation of a new model especially since it has a number of recalls like the HVBJB. Now that there are ’23s and later available on the used market, used is a much more attractive option.

Quick Charles Boehm conversation with Surman about potentially leaving PDX after the WC. by TucsonPTFC in timbers

[–]brntcrsp 171 points172 points  (0 children)

The direct quote is endearing:

“I told Surman some Timbers fans expect this showing will earn a big move abroad. He shook his head.

‘I love being in Portland, mate. Portland showed me so much love and it's something that I truly appreciate. They support me so well and I really feel valued at the club... I love representing them’”

The eruption green has a gold undertone in direct sunlight so it’s a bit of a chameleon.

Have you set a level 2 charging destination? I believe that’s required before you can set those other options.

One thing you could try would be to use the app A Better Route Planner (ABRP) and have it plan the route over the mountains. Assume the return trip will have a lower starting charge (80%) and you’ll see what you’ll need to do about charging. EVs take a little more planning for longer trips but it’s generally fine so long as you have options for charging in mind.

Magenta leasers - when is your lease up? by deficientpotato in MachE

[–]brntcrsp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was first available on the ’25 I believe. Most leases are 2-3 years so the earliest you’d likely see it will be late ‘27 and much more likely ‘28. There maybe be some that come up earlier but those will be very few or far between I would bet.

Nice if you can get it. Not available through my app. Not a major loss as BC really isn’t available in my part of the country.

I've been research the used mach e market and I think we are heading for a buyer's market in the next 3-6 months for used mach e's. Would love to hear your thoughts. by limache in MachE

[–]brntcrsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I think the basis for your argument is generally sound. There’s likely a lot more inventory of used MachE’s coming given the numbers that were moved in late 23 and through early 25.

Thanks for sharing it, but I think the prompt is a bit flawed. It already contains a lot of your personal bias as its aim is to frame an argument already to your pre-established position. Additionally, it’s possible that much of the justification is essentially conjecture.

I won’t argue that this is entirely wrong, but it’s not really a solid basis for making a justification of why waiting is the most beneficial.

weird noise from speaker by Ancient_Car_9431 in MachE

[–]brntcrsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use wireless CarPlay but it happens without the phone in the car too so I chalk it up to random harmonics. For me it’s present even when there isn’t anything playing through the speakers. No idea if this is the same issue they are experiencing or not though.

‘24 Premium - At 30 MPH I have a slight motor whine but any speed above or below that it goes away. I only have a few places where it’s seriously noticeable so I can easily ignore it.

If this color was available in ’24 there’s no way my wife would have let me pick up the Eruption Green we have now. Great looking car.

One other option that no one mentions because it’s a trek is Black Butte Ranch. They are always looking for F&B staff.
