That's a tough one. There is obviously a reason why you're parents want you to wait until your seventeen. Have a talk with them and see what their reasons are and share your reasons as to why you should have it when you 16. Also see if maybe if you wait until your 17 if they will get or help you get a car. And getting a job wouldn't hurt either. It will actually probably look like a good thing to them.
