I think you're doing good by helping around the house and helping her with her licensure. In her mind, it's probably something she expects you to do. Does she make you pay rent?
Here's what I experienced: My parents did help me pay for my first car, but I could tell mom didn't like it because I was leaving the nest...and mom's DON'T like that. From this aspect, I can see her not wanting to help you out with a car.
You might try a little reverse psychology and said "I've gotta walk to work, I don't have time to help you right now or fix anything. I need to earn money for a car." ...might change her mind.
BUT.....BUT.....don't do anything that'll upset her too much. For all you know, she's already got a car picked out for you and she's slowly putting money away for a down payment.
Hating your mom for not helping you buy a car, but you help her?
