Default Am I a complete n00b?

Was washing the T/A a couple of hours ago and did my usual walk-around and light check. Got to the back of the car and had the hazards on and I know I'm crazy about Pontiacs but I swear the tail lights of my T/A cast a Pontiac emblem on the ground! I have never noticed it before and have never heard anyone talk about that "feature" before. Is it a coincidence or clever Pontiac engineering?

Bone stock 99 WS6 Turn your hazards on and walk to the back of the car and there will be a flashing pontiac logo on the ground. Tip of the arrowhead is just behind the bumper (that pic was taken standing at the quarter panel.)

Clever engineering? Surely you jest.

We're talking about an F body here.

The only clever engineering going on here is the part between the intake and the oil pan inclusive (thanks, Corvette).

I'm still going to check the hazard lights, though. Looks neato.
