all this has me thinking of a question I've been meaning to ask for a while now:

what do you guys use to check your tire pressures?

I've got about a dozen 'stick' gauges that I use, and my uncle (who works for 
Goodyear) gave me a very nice dial gauge that I hope is still buried in my 
toolbox from the move.  but I really ought to buy one to keep in the garage for 
quick (and more frequent) checking.

since I really don't trust much of anything I can buy from discount autozone 
parts, do y'all have a favorite brand/model you use?  at the track the tire 
vendor seems to use some digital jobbie that I'm sure I don't want to pay for...

thanks.

scott
