Issues i guess you could say

Hmm, touchy. Could you find out more from the girl as to why the mom doesn't like you? Sounds like some info might be missing. How much younger is she than you? From the beginning, it sounds like she was trying to get you dis-interested by blowing you off on possible dates before so something is going on, just don't know what yet. Depending on whatever reason it may be, prepare yourself for possibly letting go of the "pursuit". She may be ok with dealing with it but mom won't and you would still have to deal with her, every other weekend. IHMO, the only reason she gave you (or that you wrote) is that you're 16 and have a car? That's a pretty lame excuse and also I don't like the way she's putting everything off on mom. Mom may BE like that, we don't know, but the girl needs to give you the real reason(s). Sorry to be so blunt, it's too early and I haven't had enough coffee yet.
