No. If you put one of these in a 181 it would take flight and snap your
neck and then you might sue me. I am disqualifying you. You'll thank me
later. ;)

Actual Bus people:

I am going out tomorrow morning to cruise these yard cars and see what can
be gleaned. I have hypothetical definites (!) from two people as of now.
Probably I'll take enough to satisfy the definites plus one for me in case
I ever decide I need air conditioning. The Cruise Director asserts that I
cannot buy anything unless I know I can sell it so if you want one then get
on the stick.
