My mom has been putting off me getting a car since forever. I'm seventeen years old and about to go into my senior year, I thought I'd have a car by now; since she kept telling me I would. Katrina hit and now she doesn't have enough money. I'm working a job this summer, but it won't be enough, so I asked her could I get a weekend job, but then she starts pulling up all this **** about me not being able to handle it and not being mature enough. She said that working two jobs would ruin my grades. The story always changes. I even told her I would pay for the car (fully no car notes), insurance, and gas. None of my friends have to do that. Most parents would be ecstatic, they'd definetly let me get the frickin job. I play sports and am very active in my school and social life. I have a 3.1 GPA. I even got in the National Honor Society. The only reason I have a car is because I mooch rides from everyone. What else can I do to get a car?I tried everything, please I'm open to any legal ideas

if you work all summer you would have enough to lease a simple car since i kno one that goes for about 19,000, u would put down a thousand on it and the monthly payment would be about 250. Ofcourse your mom would still have to agree to put the car in her name [unless u have a license] n you would have to get her to let you have a job during the school year...other than that i dont know...anyway good luck

A lot of promises there. Do you have any good idea of what insurance will cost? Your attitude here does show a pretty weak maturity. I notice you haven't mentioned how long you have had your driver's license and how your driving has gone.

Firstly,, a 3.1 isn't that godd...lol...j/k
I don't know......look them up online...you will have to settle for like a ford contour or anything......look for cars in your area go to.......www.cars.com....YES it is real!!!!! Type in your zip code....company...model...and price range...only go up to 1,000.00 if you are really that tight. And think, if you are going away to college, do you really need a car?.....be reasonable...if your mom can't aford it, then she can't afford it! I kinda tried to guess your zipcode since u said that Katrina hit!...nothing creepy!
