Still DDing mine, only major issues have been being bitten by the radiator/transmission failure AFTER the extended warranty expired, driver side window motor dying and a coilpack dying twice. 12 years on and it still drives great and tows all that I currently throw at it without issue.
I'm down south in NW Arkansas in that bit of country that gets tossed between mid-west and south-central. Was up that way last spring for the Amelia Earhart festival.

I'd love to get 15MPG, currently averaging about 12-13 in city. Pretty sure the combination of hills around here and my lead foot are the biggest culprits, but I did see a drop when I switched to the Goodyear AT w/Kevlar in LT trim.
It'd be trivial to do (with any of the half dozen methods I can quickly think of), but I just abhor selective color photos; rarely do they (IMO) end up looking good. May go back and give it some work to look like an old an faded photo, but after a couple hours of removing the parking spot...
