In Colorado having windshield replacement is something I’ve used for years as an addon to the car insurance. The coverage (Farmers) will get pits fixed for free, as to avoid windshield failure, and if the windshield does need to be replaced, its a $100 deductible.

My daughter’s car (320 XDrive) had two windshields replaced in the span of two months.

Plastic Couch Cover

It’s unclear how much wear and tear there are on the bearings, but I don’t buy and use cars to just save it for the next owner. It’s akin to putting a plastic cover on a couch; it works but I don’t do it.

I slip into eco by habit when in traffic or when I am cruising. It really goes hand in hand with start/stop where the greater efficiencies are…I drop it into sport/sport+ when I need to take off and get going.

Such technologies are gas reduction strategies and not gas replacement and the savings are only realized as gas prices get higher. Why burn fuel when not needed?

Rant…when one tire is 1 psi below standard, eco mode is not an option. Really?
