    You know that nasty smell on the roads right as it starts raining? Yeah, that’s not only asphalt smell, that’s also tire dust, brakepad dust, exhaust particles, random oil/antifreeze/etc leaks, basically anything cars can inadvertently shed, and absolutely none of that is healthy for anyone… 💀

        Sometimes I can’t resist. Moment it starts raining I sprint to the highway to lick the roads, with an uncontrollable hunger.

          Amateur hour over here. I set my cruise control, then lean out of my door and place my tongue on the pavement.
