I think the Go Pro Hero 3 Silver is very good, I've seen people selling them with bundle (extra battery, mount, head strap, stick, extra SD card) for 250-300. Just gotta look on ebay/craigslist for them deals.

I did spot one but have other financial matters to tend to.

256 + tax for just the cam on amazon.

You can probably get the older models + bundle for even cheaper

Sony Action cam, is cheaper and has steadyshot (built in image stabilization) which is perfect for motor vehicles because things vibrate a lot.

Using a Contour Roam 2 mounted on a helmet gives great first person view.

hero 3 black if you could get your hands on one, as mentioned earlier amazon might be your best bet. Usually see a ton of extra goodies that come along with it. Whatever you decide on, I suggest one that you can swap batteries in and out of. (i believe the hero, hero+LCD, and session are the ones that have built in batteries.)
