Some things are better enjoyed from a far, and Mako knows that.
He also knows that a vista means nothing if there isn't a journey to it, and what better way to do that then with a (admittedly slightly modified) twin turbo, swedish powerhouse of a car, especially when the roads to it are as engaging as they are? Of course, A light based ceremony would almost assuredly be held at night and what a night to hold it on as well!

Mako seems to be preoccupied with the star-speckled night, I mean, who wouldn't? Just don't forget the show!
