Driving, Something Borrowed, page 61.
"Under normal circumstances, the trip to the resort would have taken half an hour. I'm not saying that Murphy's driving was suicidal. Not quite. But after the third near collision, I closed my eyes and fought off the urge to chant "there's no place like home."
Murphy got us there in twenty minutes."

Sir lerks-a-lot:
Fists (or alertness)

WN Chapter 2
With no warning whatsoever, Murphy moved, spinning in a blur of motion that swept her leg out in a scything, ankle-height arch behind her. There was a thump of impact, and the sound of something heavy hitting the floor. Murphy—her eyes closed—sprang onto something unseen, and her hands moved in a couple of small, quick circles, fingers grasping. Then Murphy grunted, set her arms, and twisted her shoulders a little.  There was a young woman’s high-pitched gasp of pain, and abruptly, underneath Murphy, there was a girl. Murphy had her pinned on her stomach on the floor, one arm twisted behind her, wrist bent at a painful angle.

(If the whole thing is too long consider just using the part in bold)

Driving
PG Chapter 4
I wrenched at the steering wheel and the brakes, my body responding to things my stunned brain hadn't caught up to yet. I think I kept it from becoming a total disaster, because instead of spinning off into oncoming traffic or hitting the wall at a sharp angle, I managed to slam the Beetle's passenger-side broadside into the building beside the street. Brick grated on steel, until I came to a halt fifty feet later.

Here's an early one from Blood Rites:
Weapons (weaponed combat, swordplay, thrown weaponry, weapon knowledge)

"As I watched, one of them reached down between its crooked legs and . . . Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but it gathered up the kind of ammunition primates in zoos traditionally rely upon. The monkey-demon hurled it with a chittering scream, and it combusted on its way to me. I had to duck before the noxious ball of incendiary goop smacked into my nose."

Here's an early one from Proven Guilty:
Driving (driving, flying, boating, car chases, shortcuts, street navigation)

"Stars swarmed over my vision and I tried to swat them away so that I could get a look at the Chrysler's plates--but it was gone in a heartbeat. Or at least I think it was. Truth be told, my head was spinning so much that the car could have been doing interpretive dance in a lilac tutu and I might not have noticed."

EDIT: Ooo... and one from Dead Beat.Handy, if you don't want to say your real name:

Deceit (Falsehood, deception, distraction, misdirection)
"Who," said the man, his accent thick and British, "are you?"
"The Great Pumpkin," I responded. "I've risen from the pumpkin patch a bit early because Butters is just that nifty. And you are?"

iago:
Great finds so far, guys!  I'll try to do a "tally" soon so we can see what's not getting hit.

glmagus:
Though I'm unsure of the exact page number, for Performance can it be anything other than:

"Polka will never die!"
"D**n right!"
