Infinite yield possible on 'Workspace:WaitForChild("Instance")' - Can't locate car

So I made a car but I want multiple to be in use in my game. The scripts run by checking who owns the car (checking the CarName value) and checking if the car’s model name is the players name.

Here is the script I have (located in the A-Chassis Tune script)

if script.Parent.Parent.DriveSeat:IsA("VehicleSeat") then
	script.Parent.Parent.DriveSeat.ChildAdded:connect(function(child)
		if child:IsA("Weld") and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(child.Part1.Parent)~=nil then
			local p=game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(child.Part1.Parent)
			local g=script.SirenControl:Clone()
			g.Parent=p.PlayerGui
			g.Frame.CarName.Value = p.DisplayName
			local car = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Parent)
			car.Name = g.CarName.Value

			script.Parent.Parent.DriveSeat.Changed:Connect(function()
				if script.Parent.Parent.DriveSeat.Occupant == nil then
					local sirencontrol = p.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("SirenControl")
					if sirencontrol then
						sirencontrol:Destroy()
					end
				end
			end)
		end
	end)
end

g.Frame.CarName.Value = p.DisplayName – g = SirenControl GUI
local car = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Parent) – Finding the car in the game while not specifying the name.
car.Name = g.CarName.Value – Changing the car’s name to the value name of CarName (players name)

Error

Infinite yield possible on 'Workspace:WaitForChild("Instance")' – When finding the car

Is there a way I can locate the car and change it’s name?

I think you’re missing a .Name, try this:

local car = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name)

You should just be able to do local car = script.Parent.Parent though.
