Default 41 psi sounds about right, for cold.

The max pressure is around 54 psi.

Actually, the one you thought was ugly and complicated was just as simple and probably more reliable.
I'm sure it is more reliable, but I want something that I can fit in my trunk and won't take up too much space. I'll have to look what's available @ Home Depot, Target, Lowes, etc. Not sure if I want a compressor with a title TruckAir blazened on the side. Sounds too much like "Trucker" to me!

I've always had a tire gauge in my glove box and an air compressor in my trunk. But frankly, I think my tire gauge is broken too. Now, I do look at my tires a lot and try to eye ball it (which I know doesn't take the place of a tire gauge). Though, the tire monitoring system seems to be pretty accurate. But, yes when I get around to getting the compressor, I'll get a new tire guage too!
Sorry doc didn't mean to bust your *****. I find washing the car relaxing. Plus the car wash takes the wax off and does a crap job.

LOL Got ya! I was actually being silly and trying to give *you* grief. Also, I usually have the car waxed every time I have it washed - so I don't mind if a particular wash removes most of a perious wax.
