This will be my 10th year with the SD. I'm in the middle of welding in repairs in a bunch of areas - really needed to be done. Plus, I replaced the rear window seal this weekend, which was responsible for some rust in the trunk and completely compromised a front seat mounting point - that has been completely fixed. It's not too bad to do, really. Areas are being treated with Rust Bullet as I go. I plan on continuing to drive this car every winter, all winter unless I need to be out with my pickup (plow) truck, for years to come. In the slop, snow, sand, salt. Yep.
