Steve’s take

Park at the line, shift into neutral, and watch the car drift uphill. It's an optical illusion, but you don't need to tell the kids that. The line on the road is the photo. Three minutes off US-27 in Lake Wales, free, and you can pair it with Bok Tower Gardens four miles away to make a half-day.
