Which is worse: Friends or Seinfeld?

As one that remembers watching NBC "Must See TV" Thursday nights in the 90's, back then, Friends was more approachable as a twenty-something that identified somewhat with the idea that it's ok to be quirky, laughable, and fun.

Now, I prefer Seinfeld. Say what you will about the cast, the show's darker take wears better on the post 9/11 world.

It's easy to pick on one or the other now, but having lived the era, and the era of TV that led to it, both shows made more sense back then.

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.
