Reputation's cool but hiring managers want both. Deep skills plus some breadth gets you paid.

Kill is the right word. Watch a good shop close because they can’t drop 10k on a new scanner just to read codes. The DEF system alone on a new rig costs more than some jobs pay. Yeah, clean air matters, but the math doesn’t work for a three bay operation. They write rules for fleets, not for us.

Cool you saved some gas money. But it's like five people on one block, not exactly fixing climate change.

I dug out my blue notebook from college last summer, and man, it was full of gems like 'fluffy123' for my bank account. I used to think I was so clever with those codes. I even had a password for my Neopets account written down, which is hilarious now. These days, I switched to a password manager after my cousin got hacked. It creates those crazy long passwords with symbols and numbers, and I only have to remember one master password. My old notebook is now just a funny relic I keep in a drawer for nostalgia.

In my experience, wood textures never translate well to screens.
