I have taken my RR places no car could go on several occasions. I was not driving it yesterday though
I was in my Toyota Tundra 4X4 and I tell ya what it is not even close to the RR in foul weather prowess. In 2WD I could not accelerate without spinning the rears! It was real bad and they shut the highway down about an hour from home
FWIW I bet I saw 20-30 vehicle in the ditch and not one was an SUV. Alot of 2wd P/U's (a couple 4x4's), cars and minivans. I stayed mostly in the right lane and could not believe the morons(in cars) passing me in the left(unkept) lane at high speed.
Bottom line for me: I cannot begrudge someone for wanting a safe and capable vehicle to transport their family/self in, especially when conditions like last night are common.
