Howdy all,
Call me Workhorse. All I do is work, in reality my end goal is simple. I got denied from every financing company out there because my family ain't rich and I've got little credit history to begin with. My goal is to become a commercial pilot..to do that, I got to save gas, make money and pay as I go. Each lesson I pay out of pocket in hopes I'll be closer to my goal.

Currently I work as a chauffeur, but I have hobbies. Mainly cars, videogames, history, that stuff.

Right now I own a 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage and a 1993 Ford Mustang LX (4 cylinder to 5.8, WIP) and a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis LS (currently serves my mother right now several states away).

While it might seem obvious I'm going to ask questions about the Mirage. It's already a gas sipper so I really don't want to do anything to it..however...
I hate putting more miles than I should..so I decided I was going to buy a junker. My boss offered me his 5.4 2005 Lincoln Aviator for $1400. After some talking we are a bit up in the air on the deal though.

I'll need tips and tricks while I track my money saving journey. Chauffeur by night, package delivery driver by day.

Welcome to Ecomodder.

Two jobs and hobbies? Handle seems legit.

If you don't want to put miles on the Mirage, why not get a beater Mirage?

Sounds like a money pit.
