Like folks said in here OP, miracles seldom happen.
Two times you applied before, third time you called. Those two rejections should have given you an indication.
A small percentage of companies will give you a break and allow your perseverance, the vast majority of employers see it as desperation.
Hopefully you can find something better.

I could be reading too deep, but this stands out to me. Why not take a rideshare to the interview? I wonder if the thought-process that leads to that choice also manifests itself in other ways that may lead you to not getting the job offer.
Im not downplaying the benefits of walking or the affects of increased carbon pollution. However the person that thinks it's better to walk 3 hours to an important job interview rather than spend $30 may be a little unorthodox. There's generally nothing wrong with that, but hiring managers could be put off if your personality as a whole is a little too unconventional.

Happened to me before. In fact they closed the job listing an hour before I did the interview.
Craziest part though, I work for the company now, just in an entirely different department. I’m glad I didnt take it personal. HR reps tend to be some of the most immature people on the job.

Nah, you didn't get played, you were just never getting the job, and forced the issue. The first two times, they determined they wanted to go with a different candidate some point after weighing your resume against other candidates.
Being honest, you probably should've just dropped it and focused on getting on at a different company at that point. There's a chance that they saw that this was your third application, and were just taking their time on declining you. What you did isn't uncommon, either. My lady works in HR, and a LOT of people call or just show up to basically demand an interview like you did, and the overwhelming majority of them don't get the job. They scheduled you an interview so they could give you the courtesy of saying that it happened, and moved on.
Brutally honest feedback:
Take a long, objective look at your resume, and try to think of where they would've seen enough holes in it to move on in the application stage. Most of the time, when this happens, it's a matter of just editing your resume to present some of your shortcomings a little better, and highlight more of your strengths. Someone with a ton of jobs in a short span that just describes their duties and responsibilities the same as they would appear on the actual company's job description looks like a possibly unreliable job hopper, but someone who describes the positions more in depth as they go along looks like someone who has switched jobs multiple times for career growth potential.
You've also gotta rethink interviews. As someone else said, those "gay ass" interview questions serve a purpose, and most interviews where they're legitimately considering you for the position will have them, since it's what most recruiters and hiring personnel have been educated/trained to use to determine if a candidate at least presents to be a good fit. Always remember, in an interview, the recruiter's goal is to get you to talk as much as possible. Your goal is to try to flip it into a conversation. If the interviewer can honestly say they enjoyed interviewing you, you're far more likely to get the job.
I know you went through something serious with the wreck, but at some point, if you're looking for jobs that challenge you, you're going to have to get over your fear and anxiety of being in a car. Because at some point, you're going to have to choose between living your life as is indefinitely, or getting back out there in a vehicle. Even if you had gotten that job, walking six hours every day for work wouldn't have worked out for you. Assuming a standard eight hour workday with an hour lunch, that's fifteen hours of your day dedicated to being at or getting to work. That's not working to live, that's living to work, breh. In all honesty, you probably would've flamed out of that job. If you've got the cash for a car, definitely do it, and ease yourself into it by just using side streets to start, or just using it to run little errands. If you have the means, you owe it to yourself to both give yourself the ability to move past what happened, and give yourself more options for a better work experience.

If you walked 3 hours in this heat, you probably had an odor, bruh. You funked up the whole office and they couldn't have that on the daily.
They probably looked at your user name/avi and read your crazy ass posts in the Mortal Kombat thread in the arcadium and thought 'no way we can offer this unhinged Reptile stan a job with anything even resembling responsibility'

No offense but you might come off a little eccentric to them. Just from reading the thread you seem a little unorthodox/eccentric which i have nothing against and is not necessarily a bad thing but it's not everyone's cup of tea...
