Any ideas what I can do?

The worst thing you can do with your car is sell it to a scrap dealer. Many of the functioning parts have resale value in the "used parts" market. The transmission, for example, can be restored by the transmission rebuilders. If you ever bought a rebuilt tranny, where did the old one go? Directly to a rebuilder of transmissions.

Other parts can be recycled and sold to "body shops." The parts business is very large. "Copart" is a public company that handles parts needs of most insurance companies. The scrap yards will give you a couple hundred dollars, then strip your car down for parts that may fetch $1,500.

Well, I would say the worst would be to park it in the back yard and let it rust. Second worse would be to let some school kids whack on it with sledgehammers for a fee - it breaks the sledgehammers.
The best thing would be, since it runs, to donate it to charity to one of these operations that auctions them off and gives most of the return to a charity of your choice. If you can't take the itemized deduction, you still have contributed something.

Donate it to a charity, the Red Cross, the Society for the Blind, a High School Shop Class, American Cancer Society, Good Will, anything but the Junk Yard.

Give it to a movie filming studio that needs a car to crash. Give it back to GM so they can realize what went wrong. Sell the whole car on EBAY and state "no shipping included".

Cut a hole in the top, make a small turrent, and mount dual Tippman A-5's with a crank firing system and use it for a paintball tank ^_^

Drive it is the worst thing you can do! Try planting some creepers or trailing plants over it and keep it for prosperity.

You could donate to a work shop where kids get to learn about engineering.
