What do you do when your winter/beater car becomes a money pit?

Factor in how a CLM like not showing up for work a time or three a year because your beater won't start and/or using vacation days to get stuff fixed

Factor in how a CLM like not showing up for work a time or three a year because your beater won't start and/or using vacation days to get stuff fixed instead of for a vacation, and it becomes clear that a paid-off beater is only worthwhile so long as it's at least somewhat reliable.

No question, if the car is a "money pit" you should look to move on. Or, if you don't think you can get a better/more reliable car for what this one's costing you in repairs, and it's not leaving you hanging, then deal with it & fix it.
