Remember when the Hummer H1 was the biggest, most obnoxious passenger vehicle on the road?
This one is parked between two new Blazers, which are as wide and have distinctly taller hoods.
Yo, the Mk III is genuinely my favorite. The Mk IV gets all the love for being in F&F, but the Mk III is just the best looking imo. Like the middle class man’s Testarossa.
I don’t drive the Lude at night specifically because today’s lights are so bad. That, and people drive with their lights off after dark way too much. If I’m out after dark with my Prelude, I probably lost track of time running errands. Unless I’m in proximity to an older Civic or Miata, I just assume I’m completely invisible. Even more so when the sun is down. It’s red so at least it stands out in broad daylight.
The things we deal with to drive the cars we love.
All that said, my other car is a '12 Civic. It’s just boring. But it’s also just light enough that you can kinda chuck it into an on-ramp. I think if I can one of these days, I’d love to buy another just like it, but with a stick. I kinda hate driving the Sequoia. It’s great in a straight line, but it handles like a skyscraper lol
Hehe yeah, mine is white, so visibility is a little easier. But I have definitely had a few times with newer larger vehicles where they either didn’t look down, or couldn’t see me even if they did. Always gotta be on your toes when next to one of these vehicles more than 4x the size of mine, lol.
Edit: A quick little video of it if you are interested. From the day I brought it home.

It’s got a bit of aftermarket stuff, nothing too crazy. Though it did also come with NoS, I disconnected that. And it had street glow, I didn’t intentionally disconnect that, but I did go over the wrong speed bump for a car with only 2 inches of clearance… never really used it anyway as it’s not legal to turn on in public.
I am just a nerd, the poor car has never done over the speed limit for the last 13 years of it’s life. But I feel better knowing that the previous owner made sure it can safely take all these corners at twice the speed I ever would.
