Ok, there's always a tool or ability that some people have and some people need, but it's not always something you will find in every garage. Post what you have to lend or need and maybe a local by you can be grateful or helpful.
I am in the Port Angeles, WA area and have:
-Fender roller
-BMW code check/reset tool
-OZ wheel 10 point sockets, 8mm and 10mm
-Mercedes (inside the) coil spring compressor

I've got a roller at the house for the time being as well (borrowed)...
I got alot of basic hand tools, floor jacks, jack stands, drills, saws, duct tape, BFH (big fuckin hammer), torque wrench, and a great knowledge base and dry shop...
We've bagged cars, stereo installs, coil-over installs, chopped springs, lots-o-maintenence, wheel swaps, interior swaps, weight reduction (full strip, and just excess material removal), pretty much if it can be done in under a day, we've done it... twice.
Alot of my friends come over, drink beer, and BBQ most sundays and we work on cars...
Only rules are drive it in, drive it out, you break it, you replace it, and bring beer... otherwise everyone is invited to partake.

I like rules. I need to help at these BBQ events. I can only watch for so long before I start to get my hands dirty.
I have a 110v welder as well. It's mildly portable.

Well if I buy a random orbital maybe you could teach me. I want to do the Audi (the wife's daily) for practice. Then learn how to do the do on the E21.
