Ugh, that tire find is rough. I mostly do beach cleanups and the weirdest thing I ever pulled was a full lawn chair. How does that even get out there?

My technique is so bad I chew my coffee lol

Feel the exact same way in my chair. It's all curtain bangs and money pieces, like everyone got the same style memo. I miss when clients brought in wild, personal ideas. Looking at old magazines sounds like a perfect fix, honestly.

Totally get that. I've started doing the same but sometimes I end up with stuff way too early.

Glad to hear the session went well! One small thing from my experience, the torque pattern isn't just a neat trick. It's really about making sure the load gets shared evenly across the whole part. If you just crank bolts down in order, you can actually bend or warp the material. That uneven stress might not show up until later, causing leaks or cracks. Getting people to see that it's a prevention step, not just a rule, is huge for understanding.
