which view do you prefer ?

Hey,

Just woundering what view do you guys use in Burnout paradise.

the one where you get to see your car. or the on where you look at the ground from ur bumper ?

I like being able to se my car. although havn't really tried out the other view

PS. I am a noob burnoutholic. only on my A license (coz i just got the game) any tips to finishing quickly ?
