    Being 18, owning two cars

    Well as many of you know, i own a 02 p5 and 93 se-r of which i bought with money out of pocket the last 3 years of my life, putting alot of hard work and sweat into both. Well, lately my parents have gone through a weird stage of life with my younger brother, and with me being out of school, they're trying to find ways to make my life miserable.

    Currently i work two jobs, working nearly 10 hours a day, but i love my jobs. And was hoping to get some stuff done to both cars over the winter for autocross next year. But all my dreams and hopes have sunken now. Today my parents took the titles of my two cars, and keys while i was out with a friend (note to self: ALWAYS REMEMBER TO TAKE KEYS WITH YOU!) and have decided they will be taking the cars to be sold/traded in at a dealership tomarrow, and i have no legal rights to the cars, or any choice in the deal. Well being that in nebraska you must be 19 to have the title in your name, both of my cars have my father as the owner and me as a co-owner. totally screwing me out of my legal ownership of the car.

    And to make it worse, i will probably not see a single dime of my money come back to me EVER. And they have called one of my jobs, to make sure that i do not have a job there anymore (i have no transportation to get to that one now either)... though i probably would still have it if i had my car(s)... but dont have them so im stuck. Basically cutting my income by a good 1/2.

    How the hell am i to deal with this, and my girlfriend had a ceasure today....

    Im going crazy

      so head right next door over here to colorado, where you can have your own title at 18. :p: sorry to hear that your parents are screwing you out of both of your rides. thats pretty weak. i'd have some words with them if it were me. sorry to hear about your gf too. things will work out though. stay up.

        thanks for the sympathy all... ive tried moving out, legally you need to be 19 in nebraska, 18 really isnt legal age for **** here now.... BULL**** i cant open a bank account, sign a lease with out parents, or buy a car until im 19

        ive talked to an attourney about the money thing, and because of the age i have no legal rights when it comes to that for the most part.... so im screwed

        agh

          Dude - there's gotta be a reason here.

          Anyone else feel like there's more to this story?

            you have to have a spare key right. Take the two cars and put them in storage.
            Somewhere far where they won't find them .. When you are 19 get the titles for the cars and then do your thing.

                    **** if my parents did that to me, i would smash up both cars with an axe or sledge hammer the night before they sell it...or put both cars up on jack stands and remove the wheels and put them in another location.

                      ive actually got 3 cars in my name. luckily im in california so theyre mine. there has to be a reason your parents are doing this.

                      now as to your seeking vengence. am i correct to assume that because you have no legal rights your parents are still responsable for you? if so you need to demand an immediate explination for thair actions, or youll go out and do something that will end up costing them alot of money, 2 cars worth of money...

                            Yea, but nebraska sucks about stuff like that, only state where 19 is legal age I think, I hated it. Use to live in Papillion...........gotta represent the midwest.
