Does that count as "Busking"?

I think that could be considered a form of busking. You're not really "performing" though, so I could see arguments that it is more akin to panhandling.

Maybe try bringing your own safety instruction props next time. Then when they are doing the demonstrations you can stand up in the aisle and do your own version. Like strangling yourself with a hang noose when the oxygen masks drop or a demonstration down the middle aisle of how to go down the emergency slides on your stomach slip-n-slide style :tup:

Thanks guys! Doing it in 100° heat kicked my butt. It took about four hours only because I was super-cautious lining every thing up. Trimming the right side duct reducer took an hour by itself. It will need more trimming once the hose install starts.

LOL mr. ken! :icon18:

Actually, once I realized there was no turning back when I marked the cut line with a Sharpie, and that wasn't coming off, it was cutting time. :icon17:

The actual cutting was super-easy with my Dremel. All the masking (I know, way over done but I wanted to make sure the Dremel didn't walk on me) was what was the most tedious.

To do this right takes a lot of time. Tons of prep work cutting templates, trimming reducers, and masking the bumper before I ever made my first cut.

I'm the poster child for not lowering a car, installing spacers, and many other mods. Let's hope brake ducts aren't added to the list!

Still need to trim the right reducer to fit it past the washer fluid reservoir and the run the duct hoses. That will have to wait until a buddy is available to work at his house.

The car needs to go on jack stands and the belly tray dropped. I'm getting close. :tup:

OH

MY

GAWD!!!

Lol!! You cut holes in your car!!! Lol! Brave meticulous man!!! :tup:

I only screw up with it if I start thinking about which button to push. I find that if I just start pushing the buttons quickly without thinking too much about it, I usually get in a rhythm after the first mistake.

I had this a$$hole ignore a yield sign at 20 mph to cut me off while merging onto the 50 mph frontage road this morning. The speed limit drops to 40 fairly soon after the merge, but this guy never hit 35 mph. No wonder he has that license plate :ugh2: I don't see him ever getting anywhere on time driving like that. He ended up turning just a few blocks down. Oh and there was absolutely no one behind me either :shakes head:

Wait... Did I post in that thread? I'm almost positive I bypassed it but I'm delirious from lack of sleep so I'm not 100% sure.
