Default They can't take my tire pressure gauge away...yet

So maybe I'm old school, but I like to check my oil with a dipstick and my tires with a pressure gauge vs a digital readout. (And yes, I change my own oil, and yes, I shoot for every 3K miles....old habits die hard I guess).
Well with the GT3 the oil checking is out, unfortunately, but "they" can't take my tire pressure gauge away (yet)! Need to buy a new one, so my question is....What's your favorite (i.e. "best") tire pressure gauge?

I use a digital Intercomp. Yes, I know its an overkill.

Longacre. You can select digital, analog, or a quick-fill model that attaches to the air compressor line. Best of the best.

Is the digital readout in the car's instrument cluster not accurate?

I don't fully trust the digital gauge in the car.....maybe I'm nuts.

You guys are nuts. And I mean that endearingly . So much ado about a little thing. I just went to the neighborhood car parts store and picked one. My eyes cannot discern the little marks on the thing where the stick pops up, so I got a digital one with big display in 0.1 increments. It was made of metal wrapped in rubber and felt hefty, plus it had a little stick thing on the other end for letting air out if the tires get too hot on track. I have no idea what the brand is, or what it cost me, but it works well. BTW, the digital readout on the dashboard is accurate, but not too helpful if you are parked in the pits at the track. That's when I need the hand held one.
