Sounds like the jury is out on this technique. Just be legal in your state.:high5:

 

Its fine won't hurt anything. If your doing this to increase your mpg you need to be in warp neutral first then shift into N. Glide down the hill, I don't shift back into D until my speed has dropped below 40 mph, actually I usually don't go back into D until around 20 if noone is around.

 

Neutral is the one reason I hate to give my car up to full service car washes.

Put it in N and it goes triangle before it gets out of the wash tunnel and the wash guys have no clue what to do or how to act.
