I drive a Honda Civic 2014 for reference.
I had a bad alternator and a parasitic draw. I have since gotten everything fixed.
I have a plug in voltage reader. It was reading 14.5V consistently. Now it’s been fluctuating between 12.5-14.5V. No lights on the dash and car is driving fine.
I don’t know much about cars and am learning as I go. Any help appreciated.

As the caption says, I want led high beams but don't rang to blind oncoming traffic on low.
Could I hypothetically use a LED set on just the high beam slot for my 2021 nissan sentra?

ran over a tire in the middle of the road, didnt have enough time to stop and now here we are. Everything drives fine, no lights on the dash, AC works regularly, etc. The only issue is my whole back bumper is basically dragging on the ground (Was already missing a piece but now it has to be taped up completely) I hear this ticking under the hood, (VIDEO) and a piece of whatever that is in the picture came from underneath my front bumper which is also fucked up now.
Anyone a mechanic or good with cars and know if I should be concerned? This is my only car, I plan on getting all this fixed soon I just need to know if Im good to continue driving highways or is this something I need to do today?

Hey guys, this is the broken exhaust flexi pipe on my Kia ceed 2007, I’ve been driving with it for about 3 months and nothing has happened, is it ok to continue to drive on it? I am scheduled to get it fixed but that won’t be for another few weeks, there doesn’t seem to be any smell or anything coming from it it’s just loud

I discovered a leakage on my opel insignia with a panoramic roof. Since I wanted to test the drainage, I opened up the roof and poured a little bit of water in the drainage. It came out and it didn’t looked blocked.
Then I took some trimmer line and put it in the drainage to see if something was blocking the water. At some point it stopped, which might be a blokkade but I couldn’t verify it because I noticed something else.
There was water leaking from the driver side! Exact same spot, but on the other side. I poured water in the drainage on the right side (passenger side) and the drainage on the driver side was dry, yet it was still leaking from the driver side. I took that panel of and same rust, but a bit less.
What does this actually mean? I’m trying to fix the issue if it’s a small so I can still use my car when raining. I contacted the garage with all the evidence on mail and registered mail.

I recently got into an accident in my 2020 VW Tiguan se. It has almost 159,000 miles on it. Does it seem repairable or totaled? This is stressing me out.
