If your only option is to use those coin-op air pumps at the gas station, do yourself the favor of taking off all four caps before starting the pump. It's no fun fumbling with those things when you're racing against the clock to fill all your tires in under a couple minutes. There should be a sticker inside the driver-side door that lists the ideal PSI levels of the front/back tires too. The best option is meagre_graeme's suggestion though - having an inflator in the car is great for lots of things!

just look for the PSI # on your tire so you know how much to put in

Doing it yourself is wicked easy. But sometimes if the stars align (eg I pass a car place before a gas station), Iβll just ask an auto shop if they can add air for me. They almost always say yes with no wait.

I have been told numerous times that the tire will never blow up in my face yet this doesn't stop me from standing 10ft back and sweating

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones βΊοΈ
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
