Is it safe to travel with hanging clothes in cars?

I’m a traveling salesman for a midsize regional paper company. Because I need to look nice for clients, I always have my clothes dry cleaned and then hang them in my car. What’s the best way to hang clothes in my car when driving?

Traveling salespeople often struggle to keep their clothes clean and free of wrinkles. Thankfully, it is safe to travel with hanging clothes in cars—provided that they don’t distract you or obscure your vision.
Most people use the handles or hooks mounted above their back seat windows to hang their clothes, but this isn’t always the best idea. Wind from open windows can blow them down or swing them sideways, causing a distraction or blocking your rear view.
You may want to buy an expandable clothes hanger bar for your back seat instead. That way, you can position your clothes in whatever position allows you to see best. You can get a clothes hanger bar online for about $10 to $15.
If you love having your clothes clean and pressed, you probably spend a small fortune to do so. So why not recoup some of that money by finding better-priced

Should I buy a car with a salvage title for my teen driver?
My wife and I are having a debate. Our daughter is going to turn 16 soon and get her learner’s permit. I want to buy a salvage car, show her how to fix it, and maybe teach her some car maintenance. On the other hand, my wife wants us to get an expensive “newer” car (and take out a loan) because it looks prettier. Who is right?
