But if he's truly paying for it...? I agree with a-train. Try to do it yourself. One day when your mom is home with you just ask her if you can call and get the ball rolling, and you can hand her the phone when they need the ok from her. That way her part would only take about a minute. Good luck... I remember how anxious I was to drive when I turned 16, so I feel for you. OTOH, maybe your mom is afraid for you to drive. I can't imagine my child driving on his own... makes me so nervous to think about. Please drive carefully. It's typical teenage mentality to think that you are immune to death, but so many teenagers die each year bc of wrecklessness. So true Shanstress. Especially with the age of cell phones etc. They feel they can text and talk while driving. Not a good combination.
