 I like taking pictures of sunsets, even when it's inconvenient, like during rush hour and there's no place to stop and get out the tripod. :-(

Shot in the driver's-side rearview mirror with my trusty 7 year old Olympus ...

I might also point out that that (recognizable) skyline is about eight miles away -- and that all regional photographers owe a debt of gratitude to the erstwhile Transamerica Corporation, or as Herb Caen said, "God bless its pointy little head" ...

I love the perspective of this photo! The sky is just beautiful captured with the glowing headlights. Good framing of the mirror's position. I probably would have cloned out the red spots in the negative space though.

The headlights remind me of the glowing eyes of fictional monsters, and I like the contrast of that with the serenity of the painting-like sunset.

The framing in the mirror gives the impression that you're keeping an eye on the monsters chasing you as you try to get to safety before total darkness sets in.
