Any suggestions? Would like enough power for nailgun and car work.

car work? can you be a bit more specific? operating air tools? how many CFM do you need?

Any recommendations for a good (and cheap) Impact wrench and framing nailer?

using a compressor for a nail gun is way more different than using it for an air ratchet

I would be interested in the same thing. Run an impact wrench, air ratchet, air drill, typical stuff, occasionally a little painting but not very much. Prob really isnt a cheap way out on this one just have to go for a large tank compressor?

Yeah a large tank compressor is the only way to get what you want.

If you have time, I would check out state surplus. A friend was able to snag two 240v 13 HP, 60 Gallon, 175 PSI Two-Stage Air Compressors for $40. Were in next to new condition.

The closest I could find on the net was around $1400 or more (of course that's a quick check on google).
