My own 2 cents worth,
I have read Hal's stories over the past year or so and enjoy them. At no time while reading that post did I even consider the rock, sand, twig, & etc stuff to be true. First off, it has rained back there almost daily for a long time. Second he was on a city street and not many city streets have that kind of debree in the main lanes. Third, just blipping the throttle isn't going to create a paint wrecking blast of anything unless it up where the exhaust can hit it and blow it. Fourth he has always embellished his stories which makes them far more interesting than some of the know it alls posts. I have a thick skin so you can yell at me all you want, but I think we lost the wrong person in this mess.
