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.

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.

YDI, be an adult and live on your own. If you live with them they have the right to charge you rent in the form of using your car.

No they don't. I don't know where your from but just because you live at home does not mean your parents have the right to tell you that the car you paid for all by yourself is now a family car.

that's about the time you say, 'well, it's the 'family car' so its everyones responsibility to chip in. whoever doesn't, doesnt have access to the car. end of story.'

Say No. You bought it, you should tell them they can rent it from you. They can't legally do that.

This is such an OBVIOUS ploy by the parents to get the OP to move out!!! Things are going to get worse and worse until he does. And if the OP doesn't move out, he deserves everything he gets. And all you douches that say OP should just tell his folks to FhkOff, you've never lived with a pissed off roommate. Anyone that can say 'Your car is now our car, and you still have to pay for it all' is capable of almost anything - leading me to believe the OP has already pissed off the folks pretty bad. We obviously didn't get the whole story.
