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.. ๐Ÿ’€

Sometimes I canโ€™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.

Yeah, when it first rains after a hot summer you can see the white foam dripping down the streets ๐Ÿคฎ
