The road may appear flat, but may have a slight incline.

Why would you get OUT of the car, with the engine ON, and WITHOUT the brake ON? Are you some sort of risk taker? Are you doing a reality TV show?

That`s probably the reason. It`s not an uncommon optical illusion.

There`s a "famous" spot in the Orem Utah area that I once experienced.
You think you are going down a somewhat steep grade. However, stop the car, put it in nutral with the brake off and you will start to roll backwards seemingly uphill. Verry strange!

the road may appear flat, but is actually on a incline/decline

very good rule of thumb:

if you ever have to step out of the driver seat, pull the e-brake... takes 1/2 second and harmlesss...

you guys stop whoring...
