Beetle has some sort of bearing/axle boot/maybe a tire wear issue. Anyways it hums on the highway.

I looked at an all track with a stick and ate two cookies and now have coffee. Ask me anything.

Hmmm....I’ve been getting a loud humming and worse fuel economy lately...maybe my car is having a bearing issue as well!

This is the type of thing where if I didn’t have the CPO warranty I would be putting it off. But my wife slept all morning while I played with our daughter/fed her/put her down for her nap: and you know Bumper to Bumper warranty; so here I am.

Update: I heard service guy recommend valve cover gasket to one person on phone; lady right next to me called a friend because also they told her to do a valve cover gasket. The charge? $550. Damn!
