I grew up in the Chicagoland area and probably watched the movie 20 times as a kid.
I guess I feel like I can put studded tires and/or just drive the rover.
95% of the time i am in the metro area anyway
You mentioned you were in Sales. Does your company mind you rolling up to clients in some beater squad car?
I have a friend in Sales and he drives an '05 Pontiac Vibe. Its in great condition but he had it brought up to him that he may want to look for something "nicer".

My roommate works in sales and they wouldn't let him drive his old prius, they made him get an audi, now a VW, and eventually he's going to get a newer 4Runner. Crown vic is great for stakeouts, probably not great for breaking the ice. Unless they like the blues brothers and you can recite that whole scene.
I'm in CMGT, and I was quickly told that driving my beater BMW was unacceptable.
Nobody has said anything about my beater D1 yet but, I alternate back and forth between my dodge and it that nobody seems to notice.
lately it's been a game of "guess what car he's driving today".
My co-workers think I'm insane.
THey have not said shit about me drivng around in a 96 disco.
Anyway, I am not going to get a beat up squad car. I will get something reasonable. looking
Get something not a piece of shit, so when your wife's car dies, she can have that.
Your disco will be dead soon, might as well face up to that reality.
Get her an AWD sort of thing. Think about a used jeep, they work here.
Our house was half & half, rovers & jeeps.
It's now 3:1 jeeps to rovers.
And I worry much less about vehicles breaking down than I used to.

I understand what you are saying.
but i am beyond broke right now. I was just trying to hold off on buying something untill my wife a got a job.
My other option is to just get new base Imprezia with super cheap car payments, then replace my wife's car with something when that day comes. She is the primary kid hauler, so she needs something a bit bigger than I.
If you can do your own work, buy another Rover. Should be easy enough to have at least one running all the time. If you're in sales with a cheap vehicle, it should be Subaru, Land Rover or Jeep here in CO. Just my opinion. I like the Crown Vic, but don't try to sell me something if that's what you show up in. The Subaru says your are dependable, the LR says you like the outdoors and the Jeep says you like the outdoors and might be gay, not that there's anything wrong with that ;-)
you know the other Rover Idea is not the worst. If I could find a well sorted 98 Disco..... well maybe that's my ticket
And I have a good buddy who lives in Houston that knows discos

Crazy mentality I get more leads in real estate with me driving my well sorted e28. But we do respect the BMW on the West Coast.
Shined up and lowered sitting in the driveway of an open house it is a great ice breaker that always gets me a phone number.
Take a drive down to South Golden Road.
There's a consignment car dealer there with a buncha SUVehicles. Bear-something-or-other.
Right next door is LinDen Engineering.
If you're not the fix-it-yourself type of fella, go say hi to Dennis; he owns LinDen.
He'll be your go-to rover guy.
There's another small used car lot down the road, too.
For a nominal fee, Dennis will check out a used vehicle for you.
If it's a rover you're looking at, he has the magic box to talk to them.

The Subaru says you're a lesbian, the LR says you're a masochist, and the Jeep doesn't say a god-damned thing, cuz every mother fucker has one.
Unless its all dorked up, in which case it says you have a tiny penis.
