'''Don't be shy.''' Can you do something that other people find useful, entertaining, or impressive? Don't hide it under a bushel! Instead, post here. Put your proficiency in parentheses. Add new categories and skills as appropriate.
This page was getting pretty big and hard to navigate/read/edit, so it's broken into categories. Consider this the "Miscellaneous Skills" section.

[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06ljw Leah Joy Weintraub[Jono Dowse]] (In her other life, she actually is a race car driverbarks back at dogs that chase him on runs; they retreat in fear.)
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06lc Lucy Cox-Chapman](See section 1.1)==Cat Meow===
[http://wsoAlexa Herlach and she does it often.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07hmh Helena Harnik] (I have two driving licenses, one for each side of the road. Yeah that's right- I can use either hand to shift. That makes me 2x more stick-savvy than everyone else)
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07rb Ronit Bhattacharyya[Julianne Shelby] (Only ever driven stick-shift, now I ] is probably just wish I could drive on the right side of the road)actually a cat

[http://wsoSamantha Peterson can burp the alphabet.williamsBackwards.edu/facebook/view?unix=07mse Matthew Earle '07] (Double-clutch downshifts saves wear on synchros, but may have caused the expensive timing chain misalignment he just had fixed)

[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dsf Danny Fischler[Neal Holtschulte]] once pulled a k-turn, maxing at around 20mph, across the width of a freeway entrance. With [http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06rmb Becky frickin' Burditt] in the back seat. Ca-raaaaaazyenter Rangda.

===Change I can ride a Tireunicycle!===Alex Ambros (the 1 in 2000 girl)
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez '06] has changed more than his fair share of tires and learned that salt+rust will effectively glue a wheel onto Elissa Brown (was in the axle. Solution? Wedge the flat edge of your hubcapsame entry as Alex -removal tool into what's the jammed area and whack the crap out probability of it with a hammer. Eventually, if you're lucky, 'that wheel will pop right off.''?) Abby McBride can too!

===I can walk on my hands===[[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez '06Meredith Sopher]] has also had his fair share of car jumpstarts and knows not to connect the black plug to red and red plug to black.

[[Jonathan Landsman]], native New Yorker, has parked in spots so tight that getting in and out depended on using room provided by nudging cars parked in front and behind, counting on the flexibility of their shocks. His record in Williamstown was set when moving into his [[Morgan#East|Morgan East]] room for the [[Summer 2004|Summer of 2004]], when he parked at the top of [[Spring Street]], leaving enough room on either end of the car to fit one finger, but not two.Evan Bick
