    Where would you go for 5-10 days. lets assume you already had cheap ticket to that location(200-300). Im thinking somewhere in central or south america. Anyone have experience with trip like this or recommendations? Im planning on going in less than month.

    If it doesn't need to be a tropical destination I would go to Ireland, It would be about the same flight time too.

    I would do the tropics if I had to spend it on a trip to CR. if I had the 1000 I would really spend it on the Polestar performance upgrade for my new Volvo c30 R-Design :)

    Pump, I have a buddy with said upgrade on his car. I never knew Volvos could be built to go that fast.

    As for the trip, screw PR. Go to Barbados if you have $1k to spend beyond a ticket.

    "Polestar’s engine-software update boosts the output of the C30’s 2.5-liter turbo five from 227 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque to 250 hp and 273 lb-ft of twist."

    after riding supersport motorcycles I have decided that trying to make a car fast, like, actually fast... is futile. Enjoy it as a factory hot hatch and try not to dump too much cash into it....

    For a grand I'd go hang out in a $40/night beachfront hotel in papoya nicaragua for a week, rent a car and a board and live on mangos and tona's. Probably still have some $$ left over. Actually, might just try to make arrangements to do this in the spring.

    I hear ya Stud. Not really going for super fast. I just like a cleaner look and performance. I always have to tinker a little bit ;)
