[s-cars] portable air compressor recommendation

[LL - NY]

I've heard the Coleman one is one of the better ones.  But, for autocross,
the things are so dog slow, they can make the pressure, but lack the flow to
make this practical. In fact, for trimming pressures, I find a bicycle hand
pump quicker and more convenient than the DC powered things. Pehaps a pump
AND a decent sized air tank may be more of what you'll need.
