My grandma gave me a 6 HP 60 gallon 230v oil and belt driven air compressor that I am 100% satisfied with. It is so quiet if I shut the door and walk out of the garage I cant even tell its running. I can even talk over it when I am standing next to it. I am amazed how quiet it is. I can also air up about 4 or 5 tires before it kicks on.

Wire..
Well, Here is what I'm goin for! I have 200 amp service in my house and I am gonna run from that out to the garage with a 100 amp breaker in the panel and either #4 copper wire or #2 Triplex Aluminum for direct burial. This wire is rated for 100 amps ands that way some day down the road I can run a welder also! Figured while I was at it I might as well pull some telephone chord and RG59 through. For "someday" ! So I have to wait til mid week for Diggers Hotline to come out and mark my gas and phone and elec lines and then start diggin. I'l let you guys know how it turns out! Thanks for all of the ideas!

You really do need to have what they call a "mag starter" on that thing if you don't already. It is designed to handle the high load when starting and is mandatory on all larger compressors. You will be wasting your $ on other fix its until that is done. I live north of GreenBay and have a compressor house just outside of my garage and run all the lines through the wall. I need to mix some Marvel Mystery oil with the compresor oil in the winter to thin it and I have a block heater on it in the winter as well. Without these things I will pop my breaker if it is below 15 degrees.
