OK, I know I'm not the only one here who owns a car that requires 3x more money to fix than it did to buy. Mine's an oil leaking 1983 diesel Mercedes that I could never dream of getting rid of. What's yours?

I have an old 89 Ford Bronco, it sits in the garage more than it goes anywhere with me.
Yet, at the time I bought it brand new. It was my dream car. We've had a lot of history together. It has never once broken down on the road, it always took me home then died.
It has a very small but annoying oil leak...I've spent so much money trying to get it fixed its insane.
Since moving to the midwest and we have rain more than once a year...it has developed a leak right above the windshield. I thought I'd be smart and get it a new windshield...but it didn't stop the leak..so its garaged again.
I'll never get rid of it and in the last couple of years I've spent at least triple what it is worth just maintaining it.
