Redefining the Nissan Cube, OR: Visions of a Lunatic in the Night

I made friends with a Ford Five Hundred today.  We drove very similarly, and I afforded this man great respect.  But then I realized he had purchased a Ford Five Hundred, and I was very conflicted.

Also, I got up behind an Accord, who was behind this Versa (who was of course going slowly in the far left lane).  The Accord impatiently got into the next lane over and...started going the same speed as the Versa, which is a huge pet peeve of mine.  I got behind the Versa and began tailgating them, so they began to drift over to the right--when the Accord, who had been going 70, all of a sudden decided to accelerate to 80, intimidate the Versa back into the left lane, and then stay right beside the Versa after dropping back down to 70.  I got behind the Accord, tailgated to get him out of the way, and then went on my way.  I got so mad.  It was bad.

A little later on, I realized that the least aesthetically appealing car on the road today is the Nissan Cube.  One of them switched into the left lane in front of me (mind you, it was dark, and several feet away), and the immediate impression I got from the rear was that it was a large glass box on top of a 1996 Nissan Maxima.  So we can see a clear retro trend in tail lights.  Obviously.

 
What my eyes showed me, in the night.

An actual Nissan Cube.  I decree that my mistake is understandable.
