How to fix my side view mirror for cheap?

Recently, I accidentally ran into some bushes when my back window was all fogged up, and knocked my side view mirror clean off my car. I still have the mirror itself- the plastic housing and glass are totally fine, it just kinda snapped off of the car. The cables, obviously, are broken. I'm a pretty poor student and I can't afford to have it professionally fixed for a while, but I'm worried I'll get pulled over or fined or something of that nature for not having the mirror on the car. If I could just fix it temporarily, even that would work well for me- preferably something incredibly cheap I could use to just get the mirror to stay on until I can afford to have it repaired. Even better would be if someone could walk me through or direct me to a way to repair the mirror I already have, with the cables and such being as they are. I don't have a lot of experience with cars, but I'm good with repairing things in general, and I'd definitely like to try if I can. For reference: my car is a 2005 Ford Focus, if that makes a difference.

Left Rear Wheel noise when taking a slight right turn?

I have a noise coming from my back of my Ford Focus, ( woo woo woo ) for a while now, it's driving me crazy, I can only hear it when I'm in second or third gear when turning slightly to the right, also i just realized that when in star moving or my car is reversing for a second or two I can hear a squeeking noise.
I lifted the car and checked the wheel and is moving freely with no noise whatsoever, it looked ok.
I kind of run out of ideas can anyone give any suggestions please!

Why isn't the Ford Focus selling in the US?

It's their best selling model world wide, but nobody in the US is buying it.

The most popular version is the 1.6 diesel with a stick. I wonder how many of those sold in the US bwaha.

My Ford focus keeps cutting out?

So I've got a ford focus 2.0tdci ghia and since I've changed the fuel filter the car cuts out all of a sudden every week or so.

At first, I thought it may be running too low on fuel, but the trip computer still says 40 miles and its done this the second time whilst the trip computer was saying 40 miles. We changed the fuel filter ourself thinking it'd be easy, but it was a disaster, and the car got airlocked. Eventually we got rid of the airlock by priming it and it was working fine, started ok, nice and easy.

A week later, it judders it 4th and loses power, then conks out. No restart whatsoever - we then called the AA and he started it up with some easy start fluid, he then saw the fuel lines and saw that air bubbles were coming in, when the fuel leaves the filter and goes in the engine.

After this, it was running fine again, then all of a sudden it just stopped. Same problem, called AA again and got it started, but we can see the air bubbles in the fuel line again. The AA guy goes it might be a cracked fuel line, but there's no sign of leaking diesel, as well as this he said it could also be the fuel housing where the filter is.

When it ran out, we looked at the fuel lines, and there was no fuel in there whatsoever, but then as we cranked the engine, it was trying to shoot up in the engine but was struggling.

What could be the problem here?

I'm taking it to the garage tomorrow, but I thought I'd get an opinion, I'm scared to driveitnow.

Car MPG increase with Electrical Load decrease (Night)?

So I'm switching ever light out in my car (except head lights) out for LED's. The lowest wattage ones… I have already done so. But they are super bright so its pretty good looking. (this includes dash interior read, license plates, tail lights, etc.
The headlights now have 55w HID's including fogs… Each pulls 20 amps on initial startup but after doing my own tests I find them to pull about 3.7 amps each vs the constant 18 with each halogen bulb.
This is a huge electrical load decrease.
I mostly drive at night
Ford Focus SEL 2009 perfectly rebuilt. Getting 41 mpg highway (55 mph) all the time before change but with the heady load. I haven't actually gotten to drive much with the change.
I need a rough estimate on the amount that i will save on gas now that my alternator will not be running hard. (i don't use the radios often and I have no accessories plugged in typically…
I'm guessing 1-2 mpg. Maybe some of the smart autoheads can tip me off on whether this will increase the efficiency or no?
I did notice my engine RPMS do not lower at all when I initially turn on the lights unlike before.

What would make a good first car?

I turned 16 a few months ago and I'm in the market for a car. I know a lot about cars, as my dads a mechanic, but he won't give me any advice, so I need some extra help. I want something small, preferably 2 door. It has to get good fuel mileage, and be relatively reliable. And most importantly, it's gotta be relatively cheap. I've been looking at the Chevy Cobalt and Cavalier and the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, but i've heard some bad things about all three. Would you recommend anything else, like a Honda Civic or a hatchback Ford Focus, or even some smaller 4 doors like a Dodge Neon? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!
