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.

Pretty much the exact same thing happened to me with my car. I bought it, paid for gas, insurance and maintenance, but since I have to be a Junior in college before the university will give me a parking pass, my car is becoming the "new family car" - but the worst part about mine was, that after paying for my car, etc. - my older brother (who always got to borrow the old real "family car" and never had to pay for gas or insurance) gets to take my car to college next year for free. It's a manual, and he didn't know how to drive it. I had to teach him how to drive it. FML

When you go to college and then get an awesome job, wave money in their faces saying, "Haha look at my Benjamins and my Mercedes! But it's ok you can have my old car and the money you got from selling the old one."

Just say, "**** you, it's my car. Get your own." Then hide the keys.

dont put them on the insurance tell them "you sold your car, there are many other modes of transportation use one. i bought the car with my very own money therefore i decide weather or not it becomes the family car, its my choice not your. no if they had to sell it due to the fact that they needed the money and your family needs to save money because of the shitty ecomony it would be the nice thing to say they can use the car, tell them its still your car, that its not the family car, and that when they want to use it, they must ask, pay for the gas, if the tank is almost empty they must fill it, if they break something or it breaks down when their in the car they must pay for the repairs. thats only fair

I didn't read all of these, but my suggestion is just report the damn thing stolen if they try to do that. If it's in your name, you paid for it and it is in fact your car, the cops have no choice but to take the keys from your parents.
