Let me ask you a question....why in hell did you buy a $40,000 car if don't even have a clue about something that is just down right common sense and don't seem the least bit motivated to do something above and beyond the making of excuses or waiting for the ambient temperatures to go up???!!!!

SIR,,,,,do that beautiful car a favor and take it back to the dealer and have them buy it back so they can find someone who really can appreciate what it is they will be buying....

Maybe my cheap tire pressure instrument is wrong, I'm gonna head to a gas station and check.

The tires don't look low. If it turns out they are all around 25 is it okay if I put regular air in there with the nitrogen?



I updated my first post about the car acting up today too.
Gas station gauges can't be trusted! I got one of these for Christmas, excellent, I love it!

The locking hook holds on by it self, I have no trouble with it sealing. How ever valve stems may vary!
What I really like is the bleeder(picture circled). If I over inflate, all you do is press the bleeder button a few times, until you get down to the correct pressure. It sure beats using your finger nail, only to find out you've let out too much air, and having to pump air back in, and re-take a reading!
Plus it read out in increments of .1, .4, etc.!
