Thank you.
What would you label the "to get out of the car" part, and what role does the "her" play in the sentence?
Much appreciated.

I grew impatient for her to get out of the car.
The underlined portion is sometimes called a "for-to" clause. It's a non-finite clause. The subject is her and the predicate is get out of the car.
The whole clause is a complement of the adjective impatient.
