Assuming Ravencroft's location is correct, I don't think he'd be able to pick up a Citroen anyway.

I took this at a car show last June.  Note the 308 on the right too.

i am coming to your local car shows

I go to it every year.  They've had Veyrons and ancient, perfect-condition classics and stuff.  I have gobs of pictures from 2012 and 2013.  Don't have Veyron ones though, since I didn't have a phone yet when it was there.  My dad might have pictures buried in the computer somewhere.

New tires. Why would you even want new control arms? Are your old ones damaged or something?

are you looking to upgrade to some like racing spec control arms or something?  Also if you have to include tires in that question you probably need to just get them first.


Prioritize.

My car is just a car. The tires I have for my rims now are just horsestuff. I'd replace the control arms because the bushings are shot and the front right lower ball joint is starting to get some movement, its cheaper just to do preventative maintenance.

how long has the car had those same control arms?

Hell if I know, I've only had the car a year and a half.

Get a lotus, Raven! :P

I'm re-applying at jobs again around my area now.  If one of them accepts me, I'm probably going to start browsing for cars again.  Any suggestions on something I could afford on minimum wage, from someone with firsthand experience?  It might be getting bumped up to $7.50/hour.  Some features I'd like:

Automatic transmission (not required, but would rather)
Two-door coupe (don't care whether two or four seats)
Good power/weight ratio
Not Japanese
<will add more when they come to mind>

Although I know nearly every car in existence, I've never looked deeply into their interior setups and reliability.  I also don't have experience buying/owning a car either.

Yeah good luck. You can probably get a working Chevy Cavalier for like $600 that is a total piece of stuff but will get you from point A to B.

Lol I'd rather save longer than have a Cavalier ;)

Rofl, "not japanese." What's wrong with Japanese cars? Chances are your best bet is to get a Honda Civic Si or something. Most European coupes I can think of are straight up sports cars and come with such a price tag. The only 2 door American cars are muscle cars and supercars, all of which come with a hefty price tag as well. Again, your best market is probably Japan.
