Crazy optical illusion

[DISCOLEG]

I'm driving after work behind a vehicle and eventually I've noticed that the reflection of my headlights is upside down (different than usually)...I'm like, I'm I that tired that my brain is not comprehending lights correctly, so I took a picture..nope. it's for real.
How?., I have to look through a prism for the image to flip upside down like that.

If you google this situation you will find that this particular Jeep and the shape of the hatch does this. Too funny, this happened to me in a drive thru last year...drove me nuts until I found the answer!

It's because Ford City is strange.

It's because of the concave shape of that portion of the hatch on the Jeep. If you have one of those cheap closet door mirrors you can get the same effect if you bend it slightly from top to bottom. Or just think of the Jeep's hatch as a "Fun House Mirror".

It's like looking at your reflection in a spoon.
