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...

Why don't you move out and stop mooching?

WHAT??? Kindly inform them that it is YOUR car and if they want to use it as a family car, they have to pay for it or at least pay for ALL the expenses. If you still live with them this is a code red alarm to get the hell out of there forever. Seriously, your parents are ****** up.

I guess it's just their subtle way of getting you to move out... :D

Good solution: "Hey, guess what? I'm moving out. By the way, good luck finding a new family car."

Here's what you do: Give them a key but file down a large portion of one side that way the key is useless. When they start to complain about it tell them "That's funny it worked the last time". Oh and don't let them know you have another key. Or you could just tell them to **** off and that if they want to drive a car than they shouldn't have sold their car.

I dont know how old you are... and I dont know what bills your paying or any crap like that but... if your underage they cant take the car from you if your name is the sole owner so thats that... and if your overage go sign up for college and stay in a dorm? Problem solved.

i would tell them that you can't afford to put them on your insurance plan. So they need to either pay for insurance and they're part of gas or walk. I know from experience that sometimes you out mature you parents when you hit puberty and it sucks, but just babysit them for a few more years and then get the hell out!
