    Pro sports teams location movement

    I couldn’t care less if the Portland Jailblazers move out of Portland. I hope the new owners do it. Even that pencil neck NBA commissioner is saying now Portland needs a new arena. Guess who would pay for it? The city of Portland has enough issues that are put on the tax payer. I’m not giving...

    Yesterday at the DMV

    In Washington State, you only have to go to the State run offices for driver licenses. Anything auto related, you can go to the franchise’s. I’m usually in and out in 5 minutes.

    2026 model year changes?

    They are not mandatory but manufacturers install them on their vehicles so they can get a lower average mpg from CAFE.

    2026 model year changes?

    With the new CAFE and EPA rules, can manufacturers deliver 2026 model years cars and trucks without Auto Start Stop and cylinder deactivation? Can these be eliminated in a short time during manufacturing or would it take two model years to implement because of engineering and bean counters?

    Progressive car insurance, found a way to lower rates

    I have Progressive for both my car and motorcycle. I just renewed both and they both went down a lot. My 2024 motorcycle went from $489 to $389 a year. My 06 Acura TL went down to $279 (6 month), liability only. They emailed me the rate reductions, I didn’t contact them to try to lower them.

    Tallest building in Oregon sold for pennies on the dollar.

    Really bad. All the big towers are half empty because the companies that were in them moved to the suburbs or their workers do remote work now since covid. Oregon as a whole isn’t businesses friendly, Intel just announced their laying off 2,000 workers in Oregon.

    Tallest building in Oregon sold for pennies on the dollar.

    The Tallest building in Oregon, which is located in downtown Portland, sold for just $45 million. That’s a 88% below what it was for sale in 2020. I bet it cost $5 million plus for just the yearly upkeep. Downtown Portland was so vibrant years ago, now it’s dead zone...

    A new type of security blanket for young people?

    I don’t know about your area but in my area and where I work. I come across young people wearing hoodies and beanie caps all the time, even during summer. I would stroke out if I had a beanie hat on when it’s 95 degrees out. Is it just a fashion tread or what?
