Guys-
Let's relax and take a step back for a moment. It's a story. As we all know, Hal's stories are legend, and as with any good story teller, I am sure some things are exaggerated, over blown, or otherwise taken to extremes for the sake of the story- frequently referred to as poetic or artictic license. Without these bits of narrative, would Hal's or any other person's story be as entertaining to read. I doubt it? Moreover, I doubt Hal actually blew sand and road debris all over the guys car wrecking the paint job- but describing it as if it happened certainly does add some color to the story- whether it actually happened or not.

I have never met Hal and only know him through his posts here, but based on what I have read, I sincerely doubt he is the type of person who would do anything maliciously to damage anyone's car. It's just a story. I'm giving Hal the benefit of the doubt and you should too. Now if this were a post by Corvette Boy or anyone of the other anonymous a$$es that show up here from time to time, I'd be in complete agreement with you

That's my .02
