Well, a lot of people at your age drive old beater cars that they bought themselves. When I was that age I got this old Chevy Sprint which just barely moved. I could see people thinking it unfair that you get a better vehicle than most of their parents probably have (my parents anyway). It's not unreasonable to be jealous in that kind of situation.
The majority of teenagers drive cars their parents bought at > $10,000. I remember reading that somewhere. And the point of this topic isn't to see how fair it is, but to see if it's allowed.
I didn't mean the regulator to be taken as a safety hazard, it's just more or less the only thing wrong with it now (went to the shop yesterday for some stuff.) I'm also too tall for the car and my mom doesn't like the way I'm positioned in it. There are a lot of contributing factors but the consensus is I'm looking for a newer car. I was just checking the possibilities to see how we could save some extra money.
Sorry that my mother cares about my safety and sorry for wanting to save my parents money. I'm a horrible person. Anyway this topic is obviously going nowhere and should be locked.
