I have a 2000 Buick LeSabre that was my daily driver until a little over a month ago, and I've owned it for exactly one year to this day. Everyone knew me as the one guy who always posted about how crummy his car was. Here's what I can remember off the top of my head that's wrong with it:
Dead battery
Dismantled dashboard (I did this last month pulling the radio out and just haven't put it back together)
Rusted completely through on the rear quarter panel under and including the gas cap area
Struggles to idle at operating temperature, frequently stops running at speeds under 45mph
The power steering is groaning, possibly because I broke it by driving stupid
The fourth cylinder misfires under load (high speeds, hard acceleration, going uphill)
A bushing in the right front brake caliper got shredded so now the brakes thump
The bearings in the A/C compressor are shredded so whenever the A/C is off, the car sounds like cymbals getting blasted with sand
The brake lines are rusted so bad that they could snap at any time
The fuel pump is rusted and old, but I have a new one for whenever I get around to replacing it
The catalytic converter is so rusted that I'll need a saw just to get it off
The ceiling headliner is almost completely detached, so I have it stuck to the ceiling my ramming safety pins through it
The carpet behind the rear passenger seat feels weird from bad water damage when my car's trunk and passenger area was flooded in a rainstorm
And here's stuff I've done to it:
New mass airflow sensor
New idle air control valve
Used throttle position sensor
Polished throttle body assembly
Replaced front engine mount
New tires
New rear brake pads and rotors
New taillights
New license plate lights
Used EGR valve
Used driver power window assembly

I have owned this car since May 24 of this year and have already stacked nearly 3,500 miles on it (approaching 109,500 right now). It's trying to survive me, considering I already busted a radiator hose driving on the interstate causing a lot of smoke, burning, and confusion. It's truly my most prized possession though and gets lots of attention. Everyone I know and even people I don't know recognize me as the "one guy who drives the police car" and I take command of traffic.
