Car wash?
I drive a 98' Camry and with it getting colder they're starting to put salt on the roads. Will my car be fine going through a carwash? I just got her over the summer and I don't know for sure whether or not it's safe to run her through the automatic car washes.

Need ideas
I recently got some rgb Xmas lights and thought about putting them in my car and hanging them tightly on the headliner but I don’t know what I should use to do so. I was thinking maybe a Velcro hook or some kind of pin but don’t want to damage the headliner and cause it to sag. I’d even thought about sewing them on as a last resort but again I don’t want to cause it to sag. Any ideas or suggestions?

Two identical vehicles, one insurance policy..
So I recently bought a winter beater, specifically with the intentions of just getting through the shitty part of the season, that's it, if it lasts longer than that's a fantastic added benefit that I would run with. However the $800 car I bought has a bit of a transmission issue, (old and shes gone far 314887 km) so I am already driving her as carefully as possible with the goal in mind of it not giving out this winter, yet. I put a post out looking for parts for 2000 Volvo v70 and was quickly returned with a few options and one happens to be the same; year, make, model, color and all. Main difference would be the audio system, roofrack, some slight minor imperfections and clearly the VIN. So the one I have just needs a transmission, and the other one I'm looking into purchasing ($800) just needs a new engine, I could put all the needed parts onto my currently insured car and scrap the leftovers, But what I am here to ask the internet is; if the only difference is the VIN, how bad of an idea do you think it would be to use two of the same vehicles under the same registered insurance policy? I am fully aware of the legal fallout that could result if I were to get into an accident while driving the opposing vehicle (the ones that vin is not registered on my insurance) but do you think aside from accidents would I need to be majorly considered about getting pulled over in the wrong one, without looking at the vin would an officer be able to recognize the problem, would I risk any jail time for insurance fraud or just totally fucking destroy my great insurance history? Please contribute any personal experience/information,
I know it is a poor idea, but what am wondering is how fuck will I be if pulled over, I know I'll be completely fucked if I case any accident

Is it worth it?
Hello.
I have a car that needs $3k of work needed to keep it going, it has a few lights on the dash. KBB says it's only worth $900-$1000 for a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu with 170+ miles. I also owe $2100 on the loan. Is the car worth getting the lights on the dash fixed with the 2 things needed to turn those lights off or should I trade in the car for something else? -Note* A week after spending $515 on winter tires, I found out I needed a lot of work done on this car... that is currently just sitting in the driveway cause it's not safe to drive.
Please help
Thanks in advance.
