Re: rock salt shells . . . I can see how it would annoy (rock salt shells were occasionally my dad's repellent for pests of the non-supernatural variety; one would think John would have come up with this much sooner), but for some reason, it doesn't bother me. Even though Sam asked if it was something John and Dean came up with, I like to think that it was a product of Dean's ingenuity, much like building an EMF detector from a broken walk-man.
(And as far as exposition goes, it makes a whole lot more sense then Dean needing ghost ships explained in "Red Sky," when he was the one to refresh Sammy on the concept in "Route 666."
Re: Bugs and Hookman . . . yeah, I didn't re-watch them until this recent re-watch, but upon re-watch, I liked them much better the second time around, probably because I now know the boys better and I'm watching for the characterization rather than the story. Phantom Traveler was the same way for me.
Re: driving the Impala . . . yeah, I think the whole semi wreck, near-death, "save Sammy," re-build the Impala thing really went a long way in Dean's reluctance to hand the wheel over to anyone else. I can imagine that so few things feel within his control that driving his baby is the one thing Dean does feel he has control over.
