Default Road - Long Exposure

I'm quite fond of this shot I grabbed the other day but I'm still relatively new to photography so I wanted to get some other opinions. I like how the lines from the headlights are parallel to the line in the asphalt and create a contrast between the supernatural feeling of the light streaks and the harsh grain of the asphalt. I know I'm kinda over analyzing it a bit but that's my take on it anyway. Anyone out there have any thoughts? I'm also considering get a print on canvas if i find I'm not the only one who enjoys the photo. Do you think that would be the best medium in order to preserve the texture of the road? Your opinions, no matter how harsh, are greatly appreciated.

EXIF
Model: NIKON D90
ExposureTime: 88.6"
Aperture: F25.0
Flash: No Flash
ISO: 200
WhiteBalance: Auto
FocalLength: 38.0 mm
LensSpec: 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 G VR

I did cool down the image a bit in ACR because the white balance was a little off and add back some of the blacks, but those are actually the only adjustments I had to make this time.

Admins - I wasn't sure exactly what category to place this in. Not a cityscape but I threw it here because of the traffic. If this should move to Sports/Action or Other please let me know.

An interesting picture; thank you for sharing it. My only feedback would be that I couldn't tell what it was without reading your comments! Perhaps its abstract-ness is what you like most about it, in which case I apologise... we're all different, which is perhaps a good thing! Your photo certainly aroused my curiosity though, so as I say, thanks for posting it here.
