Okay so I was going to try and buy a 99/00 civic si. Well the bank said no but anywho me and my dad got into iit last night and low and behold to get me to stop he threatens to take my car away and sell it. Now I am 18 but we bough the car when I was 16 so he is on the title with me. I pay for the insurance, the gas and the repairs to that car but whenever he gets mad at me and wants to manipulate me he always has to bring my car into it becasue he knows how important my civic is to me. I have asked him to withdraw his name from the title seeing how he has not paid for a damn thing on it and he told me he wouldnt do that. So now I have listed my banshee for sale at $5500, hopefully I can sell it then take some of the money I have saved up and go buy another civic then the next time my dad uses that threat I will just tell him its all his, after I go take all my aftermarket parts off and put the stick ones back on. How many other people have had this problem? The only reason he wont wthdraw his name is becasue then he can use it to manipulate me. And its over stupid **** like last night he found some text messeages that me and my girlfriend were sending back and fourth about kids and babies well they didnt read the whole conversation so they automatically though I was going to go jump her bones and knock her up. In all actuality we were talking about how each other felt abou kids in the future. And Now becasue I was telling him thats not how it is he was like "well thats how I see it and if you argue I am taking your computer, cell-phone and car away." The computer I could care less about the cell-phone same story becasue I was thinking about going and getting my own anywaise but the thing with the civic makes me so mad. Oh well maybe I will sell my banshee work my *** off and try to get the si anywaise. Anyone want to tell me what they think I should do? Does not mean I will take the advice but suggestions are always nice. Oh and if it seems like I have really bad grammer it's becasue Im still rather mad.

 

First of all, calm down. Parents are like that. My grandfather is 75 and still does stuff like that to all three of his kids. There is no reason for it other than they have bad wiring in their heads. As far as the car goes, just sell it and buy another one that is in your name. Good Luck Bro.

 

except I cant becasue his name is on it to. I was trying. The other thing I am mad about is they sit there and call my girlfriend a **** because of the converstion me and her had. Which honestly I dont see how she is a **** becasue I am the only guy she has ever been with.

 

First of all, WTF is banshee? Second of all - the only thing I can recommend is to get your own car. My dad played the same card as yours and that's when I decided to buy my own car. Now I laugh at him when he asks me if he can take it for a spin. Regarding the txt message issue - this is exactly why my PC is password protected, my phone is always on me and my room is locked when I'm not home. Although my parents aren't as bad. I LOL when they tell me to make sure I have protection before I go out.

 

Well I hate to break it to you this way but your dad is more than likely looking after you and your parents allways have a right to voice their opinion. I dont know you so dont take it as i am judging you but what i see with kids now days is that you have to have leverage someway to keep them in line and the car is his leverage. How old are you BTW?

 

My parents get pissed when i password protect my computer so I can't do that or i get bitched at for 30min.

Lol my dad says that too.

 

my parents are very chill..as long as i go to work, clean up once in a wile,go to school, and look after myself. I feel sometimes they get mad if i spend money doing mods to the car, they never say anything tho. But the reason i got my car is because my parents wanted me to share my bros car, and i would have to follow ALL of his rules..so im just like,screw it, ill buy my own and do whatever i want to it. Im still under my parents names and insurance

 

I dont know your family's situation but you are the kid and the parents can control you no matter how "free" you think you are. Until you are financially independant paying medical, electricity, house payments you really need to cool down. My parents used to play the finance control game with me, and I look back at it and realize I deserved to be humbled. If you know the game they play, then make them happy because you are their property. Get used to it for a couple more years.

 

I understand how you would react after what you've been through. I also hate it when people (parents or not) bring money/stuff out to control me. That's why Im on my own now.

 

Well I am 18, my families situation.... well my paretns are split up because of my dad going gay, and getting it on with other guys. My dad comes and goes as he pleases, only comes when he decides he has rules to bark at us with (when I say us I mean me, my sister and my mom). Oh and for the record a banshee is a 4-wheeler, a very fast one heres a video of mine:Banshee Burn-out

But anywaise My family dont ride anymore the banshee has been a shop queen for about a year now. But back to the subject, I could really care less if my mom used it as a way to control me she is the one here all the time and she is the one that has to put up with me. Normally I am very level-headed aside from when I get mad. And I rarely ever get mad at my mom, for example she finally gave in and read the rest of the converstion on text message and saw what I was trying to get her to see and then she backed-off so that was cool. Anywasie Im off to bed I have one more night of work on the night shift then I have to go find another job but part-time this go around.
