I laughed at this way harder than I should have.

As a fellow mechanic, judging by the fact that he cleaned all the loving tread off the tire, I don't think his camber is really that bad. Sure it could use some adjustment but the tire still wore relatively well if the majority of the tread is just gone.
It's more impressive he went through a set of pads in a year.

She's out of commission until I get new brake pads, rotors, and tires. It's also possible I have a seized rear right caliper that causes the brake to be always engaged just a little bit, but all my brakes are toast anyway. Today I just picked up some Project Mu brake pads and StopTech rotors and I'll be ordering the tires soon. Poor car had too much fun and has to take a rest.

My car is lowered so the camber is going to be a little bit off unless I get camber arms. It's not off by a very significant amount.
For reference, this is the tread pattern of the tire:

Who the forget invented the following transmission layout?
1 3 5
2 4 R
I almost destroyed the gearbox by accidentally putting the stick in R while shifting down from 5 to 4.
