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.

Damn parents. You at least say SOMETHING... but sorry to say it probably won't work...

**** that! My parents always said that anything we purchased with our own money was ours, and they wouldn't bother it. I would absolutely forbid them keys. Maybe its time to move out...

Only buy enough gas for you to use, that way when they need the car they have to pay for their own gas. If that doesnt work... run away!

You paid for it. Tell them no. Simple as that.

There has to be a back story to this tale. You are probably very old to be living at home, apparently don't have a job that would render the car unavailable for long periods of time or your parents don't actually drive enough to need to own a car. Please don't call the cops on your family that is very WT

Your parents are assholes. Move out. If you can afford a car, you can afford a new place.

agree with 139. OP isnt telling us entire story. Grow some and either move out or sell the car and buy yourself a moped

Oh, they sound like bastards. Move out ASAP.

Solution 1: Road trip (they're not invited). Solution 2: Discover that you really love public transport and have no reason to fill up the gas tank seeing as you're not going to be driving anywhere. They can drive as much as they want on the currently half-full tank until it runs out.
