"Backyard mechanic", "Shadetree mechanic", "Weekend wrencher", "Weekend warrior", "Do-it-yourselfer", and my favorite "Try-my-best-do-it-yourselfer"

Most of us joined up because we are not mecahnics, and nowhere near experts. We have regular jobs, and our truck is our main source of transportation to do the work we need to do. As a result, we are blank (your job) by day, mechanics by night. After you fix enough stuff and learn enough about your truck, then you become a mechanic.

I'm a landscaper by day, mechanic by night...or whenever the truck breaks

We've all had our share of issues and that's the beauty of the forum. We can spill our issues out and bounce ideas off each other.
