Keep it, Run it
I actually gave it to my brother, after a tree fell on his BMW, and totalled it, he has needed something to drive.

I gave him to pontiac and told him to save his insurance money from the BMW.

Paid it forward, that's another option.

I swear, every time I try to replace the Yellow Truck as my daily driver I get kicked in the balls.

Whenever the yellow truck breaks, it doesn't fully, it just becomes pretty undriveable (it is always there if I absolutely need to drive it)

My practically brand new '98 Busburban all of a sudden blew the transmission with no indication anything was wrong.

I was going down the road and it just came out of gear, and came to a stop. It tuns out that there is absolutely no line pressure, so the front pump is probably bad.

Back to 'Ol Yeller, now I am going to fix the rear main leak since that is way easier than rebuilding a transmission (At least O'l Yeller is running good).
I like the stance and look of your burb.

I hate to say it, but this might become my new daily driver.
You must be registered for see images attach

It's a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT that I got for free from a family member.

It has a pretty good body, and just needs a wash after sitting for 3 years.

After 3 years I threw a battery into it and it cranked right up and that 3800 runs like brand new.

It apparently has a problem with it randomly stalling out, but I've not had that happen to me yet.

Anyways, should I keep it? Sell it? Give it away? Burn it?
Unfortunately? Hell, give it to me! I'd love that as a daily driver. TBH I have had my eye open for cheap Grand Prixs for like the last decade, Pontiacs have always been my favorite car (normal cars anyway far from a dream car, but wonderful for a daily). I actually plan to pick one up next to use as a daily beater to keep miles off everything else, as soon as I find a dececent one for cheap I'm going for it. Good looking, nice interior, fairly comfortable, decent power, etc. What's not to like besides FWD? And even so, for a daily highway car that's no big deal, hell it'll just get better mileage

My daily driver since March of 1994.
1985 K20 with SM465 four speed manual. 40 gallon tank. Had 70K on it when I got it. Put a fresh Goodwrench 350 crate block in at 325K along with a
new clutch. Found a CUCV grill guard in Barstow when my .gov agency sent me to Kalifornistan since I am so outspoken. Back in Texas for the past 12 years thank Gawd. Radiator finally gave out 2 months ago, replaced with a Champion aluminum. Drives like a truck should. Currently 425K. Kustom paint by Krylon.

E30 has been the DD when I'm back from school for the past 3 years. No complaints from me besides all the SUVs cutting me off because they cant see me. Tuned via megasquirt and might be putting in a big M30 to add a few horses.

'04 Duramax. It was my buddy's racer chaser for 14 years and then I got it from him.

This thing can pull a house... (and has!).

I had very similar '01 with an 8.1. Still miss it. In fact, this weekend I'm picking up a friend's '01 Suburban 2500 with an 8.1 as my new daily. He's had it for the past 11 years.
