Today, my dad found out I got a tattoo behind his back and is really really upset. When I got home from work my car wasn't in the driveway. When I asked my dad where it was, he replied "you'll get it back when your tattoo comes off." FML

When you willfully break the rules, don't come crying to FML when you see the consequences.

Tats are pretty sweeet... Plus if it's YOUR car, then he can't do anything, except be a dick.

i have a tattoo and my dad was opposed to me getting one (and i was only 17, my mom signed & paid for me to get it) when he found out he wasn't happy, but it's not like i got it somewhere in which he could easily say it. if my dad had paid for my car (which in this scenario is 98.9% the case), i would say even if he found out now (and i'm 21), that he'd have every right in which to take away my car. my mom bought my car for me when i was 16, and if i did something that pissed her off, and she wanted to take it away from me, which she did, i'd say that was entirely her right. even if she did it today, 5 years later.

If the op maintains the car it doesn't matter if the father bought it. it would be THEIR car. when you buy someone a present you don't have the right to take it back because you dislike their life choices. also if the op is old enough to drive then they're probably old enough to make this kind of decision. people saying the father was right have clearly never had to put up with this kind of dictator in yor home. my message to parents; use the expression 'my house my rules' carefully because you'll push your children out of the house and have noone to blame but yourself.

Legally a car belongs to whoever's name it is in. If the title has her father's name on it, it is not her car.

I'm well aware of that,but usually when buying a car for someone else you would put it in their name. And regardless of the legal position it was just spiteful behaviour on the fathers part.

if the father bought the car it is HIS no matter if he gave it to his daughter or not. he maintains the right to take it away, the car is a privilege not a right. my dad took my truck from me plenty of times and both of our names were on the title. it belonged to him because i still lived under his roof and rules. no matter what you live with your parents, you have no real rights to any of your things unless you bought them yourself period. and you are right, the child can leave if he/she wants but, how long will it be till they realize that they cannot stay gone for long. and for your "message to parents" i'm sure that most parents wouldn't mind too much if their rebellious teen who thought they were above the rule up and left.

Okay, listen. Having forced you into this world, parents have a certain responsibility to feed you and train you until you're ready for this world. However, they also have a responsibility to enforce values into you that are deemed acceptable by society. These values are free to be accepted or rejected once one has "fully" matured and entered adulthood. Until then, you be careful about breaking the rules of your parents' home(s) -- it's THEIR home, it's THEIR money. I imagine that if she has any legal claim to this car, she can sue him for it. Otherwise, she deserves it. If she's going to defy his rules and betray his confidence, then what right does she have to a gift of such magnitude? It's not like he took back an iPod. This is a car. If you ask me, this is very responsible parental behavior and, as a teacher, I fully support it. If a parent perceives that their child has a tendency to make bad decisions and defy rules, why allow them to continue operating a device that has the potential to end countless lives under these parameters? Props to OP's dad for giving a damn. Know what? For most of my life, my father was a voice in the phone receiver and my mother was a voice from a doorknob. I wish they would have taken this kind of interest in my upbringing and anybody who gets offended that the father uses this car as a tool for punishment is a spoiled, ungrateful punk.
