Other - Cars & Transportation - August 2007

I'm looking for my first transportation. I can't say I'm a car and a motorcycle enthusiast because I don't own any of them, but I'm into them. I'm deciding whether to buy a used sport bike or a used car for around $3000. I live in an apartment so I don't have a garage to park any of them and I will have to park it on the street (my neighborhood is not always safe). I'll use it to drive myself to school mainly. So what would you choose, in terms of cost for repairs, gas mileage, maintaining, parking, safer from thieves, practical-use, cons and pros, etc. if you were me? (if you can, explain why)

I finally feel comfortable driving my new car and I just have a few questions about it. I always shift before 3000 RPM's. But in order to get better acceleration I should shift just before I redline correct? I was told that this is the best way to accelerate quicker and get optimal performance. I know it will make the gas mileage much worse...but Will this hurt my car if I only do it sometimes? I taught myself how to drive it and was never told any of these things so I've just aired on the side of caution until now...which is probably a good idea since I just got out of the break-in period. Can anyone give me any tips about shifting and faster acceleration? Thanks!

I just spent 2 hours at the DMV, they don't take credit cards so I had to hunt down an ATM , they don't have a way to print out new drivers licenses so you have to wait 3 weeks while they mail it, and I think the camera they use still uses film. If they would update their technology it would cut their cost, why don't they do it? Picture this, you go to a website and type in your information and get a confirmation ID and pay your fees, then you go to the DMV, walk right up to one of the 5 stations they already have, show your ID and confirmation number to validate, they take your picture, check your eyes andas you walk out the door they hand you your drivers license. One do-it-all approach instead of having to wait in 3 lines at the only place in town that doesn't take credit cards.

I am looking at 2 different radar detectors, both priced equally. One is the Whistler XTR-190, the other a Cobra XRS 9330. I have been told that the Whistler has POP coverage where the Cobra doesn't.. but I don't know which one actually preforms better or if the POP even matters.

http://www.buyradardetectors.com/Products/Radar-Detector-Comparison.aspx?product1=447&product2=354

There is a comparison between the two.

Which one actually preforms better and should be bought?
(If it helps at all, I live in Southern California)

I was thinking about buying a dodge dakota V8, and modding the exhaust to be a straight pipe with no mufflers.

Is it legal?
