Back into summer clothing, as we've got a road trip in a few weeks. We just passed two years of ownership and I like the car as much now as the day we bought it, if not more. I just had it in for its second service during our ownership; it was just oil and plugs... all covered by the CPO. I think we're sitting at about 47k miles.
Our BMW dealer does a "shuttle" to a lot of the city. What I learned is that's actually a ReachNow Ride driver picking you up in a 3 series and driving you wherever. I didn't realize ReachNow had this driver service, which I guess is in beta . The driver, who's an employee of the company, said they're trying to compete with the Ubers of the world. Anyway, at the end of the day I filled out a web form my dealer texted me and a different driver in a different 3 series showed up to take me back to the dealer. All paid for by the dealer... although BMW owns ReachNow... so, yeah.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
