A full tank of gas.

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

^^ 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.

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.

Well done Turkish Pickle love to hear the direction and discipline. I too love the color but if I could have all the skittles in my driveway I would, so there’s that.

What mods are planned?

Thank you guys! Really appreciate your words

For mods: I'm still in the planning stage. Mostly going cosmetic since '21 B46 hasn't been cracked yet (to my knowledge), so I can't even tune. Plus the engine sounds ok from the inside so not in a rush for an exhaust, either.

Cosmetics: I'm looking for a black M340i grill, I like the diamond pattern more. Also going to do a chrome delete with the logos (I think), I want the only chrome to be the wheels and the 330i badge on the back.

Oh and, the reflector delete for the front. The rear isn't as bad but the front is definitely an eye sore!

After going back and forth between black and some shade of grey since 1992, I ordered a mid life crisis color....Coming soon.
