I had one of those things! My friend tried to give it to me for nothing, and I argued her up to $500 even though she said she felt bad about that. It had problem after problem. My rule was I’d only fix safety-related things, and only under a certain (fairly low) repair cost. It lasted for •years• that way: it was just barely holding together and always on the brink of undrivable…yet somehow it never quite died. Finally donated it for parts when the clutch had completely filled with engine oil.

It was by any standard a terrible car, yet it stuck with me for longer than it should have. And yeah, it looked happy doing it.
