Help a n00b: Powering a Mac Mini Carputer

I recently bought a mac mini and plan to use it as a mobile computer as well as carputer. My biggest concern is over powering it. Many posts have suggested that a standard dc-ac inverter will not suffice. Am I mistaken in inferring that this is only because of wake issues? (I.E. getting the mac to come on with ignition?)
If this is the case, I'm fine because I can wait until AFTER I start the car to turn on the inverter and then the mac mini. Or is the issue with the ebb of power that can occur posing problems for stable performance? I cant see this being the case, as the mini consumes so little power...
any input is appreciated
