When you spend all your money on exhaust kits and can't afford an alignment.

This is what's called a "diamond" in the vehicle's unibody frame structure. This car has likely been in a frontend accident that was bad enough to shift one rail back far enough that the entire chassis is out of square in a big way. The tires, bearings, suspension linkages and other parts are wearing way faster and it won't have a long life on the road. Shitty insurance policy, body shops, and ignorant (and broke) buyers keep these sleds on the road. I can almost guarantee that the airbags in that heap are blown and weren't replaced. This shiz shouldn't be allowed on the road.

My guess is the owner knows damn well their vehicle isn't safe, but doesn't have much choice than to drive it.

Must be that freedom car-centric societies apparently offer according to drivers.
