While driving with my mom the other day we were stopped behind a car at some stop-lights. The car was confusing at first because I wasn’t sure if I was seeing it right. Turns out that the reason I was confused was because it was a convertible. I’d never seen one from behind so my mind was trying to figure out why there wasn’t the usual top to the car. Once it went into the other lane and I got to see it from the side I could easily understand it, but from the back it took me a while to understand why it looked so odd.

Then sometimes if the sun in is the right place when we pass cars at a high enough speed my eyes play tricks on me. If I look at them at the right angle and the right sunlight it looks like the wheels aren’t even on the ground at all because of how the shadow is. It’s a very strange feeling thinking for a second that the car isn’t on the road completely.
