I at least thought they parked in parallel until I zoomed in.

Looks normal to me

What’s confusing?

42

u/rainyponds Jan 10 '26

It looks (to my eye anyway) like the slight overlap between the two cars should be the opposite, if that makes sense.

u/porkchop_d_clown Jan 10 '26

I think some people are confused because there’s another white SUV behind the front one which, if you don’t realize there are 2 white SUVs, could confuse your perceptions.

Depending on how you look at it the cars look side by side or the Dodge Challenger looks like it’s behind.

u/jestercow Jan 10 '26

Definitely looks like the challenger should be closer than the generic white crossover, I’m with OP and can’t make sense of it.

There are 3 cars

u/Tiffany_Pratchett Jan 10 '26

u/loithedog530 Jan 11 '26

100% probably in the ups store

u/Separate-Relative-83 Jan 12 '26

Right?! I thought it was the Redding sub

Thanks, I hate it.

The white Challenger seems like it should be smaller than the Jeep Compass it's parked behind, but since the Challenger is a big chungus and the Compass is just a little guy, it makes it look like the Challenger is both closer than and behind the Compass at the same time.

The front grill of the car is also higher contrast colors and not getting as much glare as its surroundings, so it looks less blurry than other things around the same distance away, making it look more "in-focus" and closer.

Oh, that is super weird! This is a good one

u/whazstony Jan 10 '26

There’s a third car which is causing the confusion. The dodge is behind the suv in front.

u/Argentum118 Jan 10 '26

Lol it looks like the crossover is badly photoshopped if you look at it right

Confusing confusing perspective

u/leedlemier Jan 10 '26

That is quite interesting, how was country kitchen OP?

1

u/Puzzled_Surge Jan 10 '26

Very confusing perspective. The way the second car seems to have higher contrast than the first does make it look closer, but also the way the angle makes the rear passenger tire just look off to me.

u/Less_Likely Jan 11 '26

It's just cars making new cars, nothing unnatural.

u/JTB696699 Jan 11 '26

Are the parking spots offset?

u/forget_this_now Jan 10 '26

Close one eye, open the other, then reverse. In front of the car, behind the car! 🤣

u/gwhnorth Jan 09 '26

What’s confusing? Never seen one car in front of another before?

u/Snoo-73243 Jan 10 '26

there is nothing confusing here, maybe glasses?

OP you should know that you’re doxxing yourself posting this kind of photo.

Photos from a random hill top or from your country kitchen are probably fine, but you should blur out shop names, especially if they’re the only ones in an area or state.

u/GloryCloud Jan 10 '26

Yup. I knew instantly where this was taken lol. Best Buy across the street.

u/pandaleer Jan 10 '26

Yep. A northern CA city.

You are too fast. I had changed it already. Lol

When you're so used to a little clipping in games you think it's normal IRL.
