This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn't repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

Oh, I should also add, that I have real world experience working with hot asphalt. That shit indeed will melt your tires and other plastic parts on your vehicle, such as mirror shells, and also burn the paint off your vehicle.

Yes, I have experience. Yes, I know what the fuck I'm talking about.
