if u own the car, and its under ur parents' names, then that might have somethin to do with it. When i got my car, my parents agreed to be the owner of the car, but it would be MY car, and i am the primary driver. BUT, they will let me do whatever i want to do to my car. They don't like the idea of spending so much money on my car because insurance will not cover it unless u want it to. If u have ur insurance company cover the aftermarket stuff, u will have to pay more insurance than u already do. TRUST me. Save for college, you can bye a nice car when u get a real job. You arent even a quarter into ur life i assume, so u have PLENTY of time to do what u want.
