Today, after selling their car, my parents decided to inform me that my car (that I paid for myself) is now going to be the "Family Car". They also informed me that since it is, after all, my car, I'll still have to pay for the gas and maintenance. FML

If my parents did that to me I'd tell them they can either start contributing to gas and maintenance or they can start finding other ways to travel, like a bus, or a bike. They may be your parents but if you paid for that car with your own money, you should still have a say on who can and can't use it, and you shouldn't have to foot the car bills yourself if you aren't the only one using it.

Tell your parents that you are an adult you bought the car and Its not fair that you have to give up YOUR car that YOU PAID for with your OWN money and that you are not sharing your car and that they need to not only treat you with respect and they need to buy their own car. Don't let them take your car away from you you bought it so it's YOUR CAR and you get to decide and that they need to ask you before they use it. Fight back, seriously

Tell them you're following suit and that you're also going to sell your car.

The first time they take it out, call the police and report it stolen :-)

two things here: if OP is under 18, parents are responsible and they have to provide a house to live in. Second, if you let them take your car, then call the cops, you get a ticket and your parents would have no consequences.

tell your rents that you will share the car if they share responsibilities (i.e. gas and insurance) if not tell them that since it is YOUR car that they can use it hen you give them permission. if they take it when you need it or without your permission then if your name is on the pink slip call the cops and report it missing.

If what I said doesn't work sell them the car but tell them they have to pay you enough for a new(used) car for you it's only fair that you have a car too you have places to go. You have a life

It's simple. "No." And if they use it anyway, call the cops and say they're trying to steal your car. Really, doesn't have to take it that far, just saying "Steal my car and I'll call the cops" will probably suffice.

This is when words come quite in handy. Just tell them no. They sold their car, they ride the bus. Simple as that. Either that, or get them to pay for the gas when they use or, or don't let them use it.
