The company I work for likely won’t exist in a week. We’ve lost too many customers and can’t pay the bills. I’ve dragged this out as long as I can but there isn’t enough in the coffers for me to even pay myself, much less make the necessary improvements to actually keep the business going so time to rev up that job hunt. Unfortunately I don’t have a degree so most IT places around here, the very few that are even hiring (and NONE of them advertise positions) won’t even consider me. One option that appeals to me is being a local-area truck driver, which I could fairly easily get into at the place my mom works at but they require 6 months of warehouse work before one can actually start driving and due to health issues I can’t stand for more than 3 hours at a time and lifting heavy shit is straight out. So yay. Here we go again, right after signing a 12 month lease on an apartment.
PFA. Chevy Malibu wagon with a Mercury Marine big block and Regal front end.

I just had a great idea which may have been done- GNX wagon.

Don’t let that lack of degree keep you from applying. Back in my younger days, Geek Squad turned me down because I didn’t meet their minimum requirements. A couple weeks later Ball Aerospace took a chance on me and now I’m hanging on the precipice of a senior engineer position. No degree, no “formal training”.
Lots of companies put associates or bachelors degrees required but that’s really there just to cut out the majority of actually unqualified candidates vying for the position. It never hurts to apply and, if you do, you have orders of magnitude more of a chance to hear “you’re hired!” than if you didn’t.

That Elco is bitchin’. The wagon needs the black out treatment and proper front end.

Problem is that the Elco is wider so nothing is bolt on.

It’s been done (although sleeper style). One of my local Buick pals drives this - the Regal waGoN:

Dropped a 3.8 Turbo from a GN in it and runs low 11s all day... fun car!
