They charge for air??!!!
It’s a basic human right.

You’ve got what you want Cohagen, now give these people air!

Count me among those that got cheap cig lighter compressors because it became too hard to find free and or working air pumps and cause I need them for more than just the vehicle. It stays in the vehicle though so I always have it with me.

I discovered yesterday that the butterfly’s fart worth of air produced by my cheap-shit portable compressor—which would probably serve to inflate balloon-animal components, given an audience of extraordinarily patient children who demanded nothing more complex than a pink snake—did not perceptibly increase the pressure in the low tire of my wife’s SUV after 15 minutes of whirring and groaning. We also have a rash of hose-cutters in this area, so maybe it’s time to invest a few more bucks in a working model.

I have the old-fashioned kind that you pump with your foot. It hasn’t broken so far, nor have I felt the need to shell out for the electric kind, and I never have to go more than 5 yards (from my front door to my car) to fill up my tyres. I’ve saved a lot over the years, didn’t waste fuel driving anywhere to do it, without draining any power off my battery, and best of all it’s a little workout for my arse and legs. That’s the kind of exercise you need to prevent “wasted quarters”.

And I’ve used a bicycle pump for the same purpose. Yeah, it takes awhile, but so does driving around to six gas stations.
