Today, my mom sold the car I've been working on for the last few years for 100 dollars. To buy gas for her car. FML
I agree, your life sucks (24465) - you totally deserved it (1279)

(0)#57: I love how you played the "Think of what we've done for you" card to justify the OP's mother stealing her car. It's not just the fact that she sold it for her own gain, it's the fact that she STOLE it to sell it for her own gain. And how do you know she's not still in High school? Are you saying High schoolers can't work on cars? That's weird, considering they have machine shop classes...and then there's my friend Jacob who's working on his car to "earn it" when he's 15.
(I swear to God someone does some "Team Jacob" bullshit Ima smack a bitch)
(0)Saying your friend is called Jacob, is 15 and likes mechanics is nigh begging for it, #72.
But I digress. Is it not actually a very old Yo Mamma's joke what OP is really talking about?

(0)Potentially, the mother has been nagging for years to get rid of the hunk of junk and butter_cup has never really looked after it. Maybe the mother has set deadlines and threatened to get rid of it if butter_cup didn't - we don't know.
(0)Why do people allow their parents to do such stupid things? Limits, boundaries and threats are the three key words to raising parents...... and children....... and friends....... and strangers

Literally... Just not her own car, of course ^_^

(-2)Are none of you capable of spelling and grammar? And yes, OP, that is horrible. Sorry about the grammar thing.
In response to your issue, maybe try buying it back, depending on to whom it was sold?
(+1)Fake, unless you are dumb enough to not sign the pink slip. If that's the case, YDI big time.

(+1)In many states, minors cannot own vehicles. To me it sounds as if the OP were a minor and working on a car to get it running.
Oh yeah, OP - FYL.

YDI for taking so long to work on the car. In the time it took me to write this comment, I built three cars from scratch.
(-1)I concur. You are absolutely right. I will change my ways, and stop posting useless, irrelevant garbage. Tomorrow.
(+1)Somehow, the people telling Yarrachel off piss me off more than Yarrachel himself.

(+1)Reminds me of something that happened to my boyfriend, only she sold two of his project cars (same make & model for switching parts) because he told her to in a dream. And that reminded me to submit that as a FML. :P

(-2)I highly doubt this is real.
First off, that would be auto theft.
Second of all, the papers are probably not under her name.
This is obviously not real.
#13 - On 12/28/2009 at 8:22pm by lolitavoss
(+2)Why do you automatically assume it was his car?
He never said it was actually his car, or that he paid for it.
Situation A: His mum bought a car, asked him to fix it up for her, and he's spent loads of time on it. If that were me, I'd be pissed off after wasting a lot of time.
Situation B: It was bought by her, as a gift for him.
#16 - On 12/28/2009 at 8:28pm by GoddessDigi
(0)Actually if OP is under 18 the car is technically the parents anyways, so its not auto theft. A bitch move though. FYL OP
#50 - On 12/28/2009 at 11:21pm by boatkicker
(+1)My dad did the same thing to my brother. He bought a car when he was 16 & intended to have my dad help him work on it. Then my dad sold it by forging his signature. Had no reason for doing it, either! It was waaay messed up.
I wouldn't say he deserved it. Maybe the OP worked on it bit by bit because he couldn't afford much. If I were him, I'd punch his mom in the face.
(-2)you were just working on it right? it wasn't your actual car then? consider yourself lucky.

(0)Unless you were converting a Delorean into a time machine, a "few years" is way to long to be working on a car.
(+1)Not necessarily. If they had to buy all of the parts themselves, that in itself could take awhile. Plus, if they have a life, they may not work on it for hours every day.
#55 - On 12/28/2009 at 11:54pm by Back_In_Action
(+1)If the car is in your name, the sale wasn't legal to begin with and getting the car back shouldn't be too difficult. If the car isn't in your name, you're out of luck.

You shoulda punch the stupid dumb bitch out. She had no fucking right to sell something that is yours without asking you first. Why don't you hire some of the local hoods to gang-rape her? Because that is what she deserves!!!

(+1)I am assuming likely what happened was-- the kid finds a car that does not run (or barely does in very bad shape) for little to no money. The mom agrees to buy the car. Since the kid is likely 16 and it is his 'first car' the mom keeps possessio of the title. The kid is not concerned with not having the title as he is just excited about having a car and project all his own. Kid puts lots of time and energy into said car and gets it either running or in better condition. Mom gets into a bind and needs money, she uses up all other resources and has to sell the one asset she outright owns-- even though she bought it for the kid. Its a sad story but teaches the kid a lesson he will not soon forget. This is a sad FML. Good luck. Hopefully there is a dad or other male role figure in this scenario that understands the importance of the independence a car brings a young man.
(-1)Bitch move on the mom's part. However, you and sentence structure, not really on speaking terms, are you?

#71 - On 12/29/2009 at 1:02am by bugmenotmofo
(0)make her buy you a new car. she can't sell your stuff without your consent. especially something you've worked a whole year on. it's really not fair.

(-1)Well obviously it was a shit car get the fuk over it little sook

(0)I may have to call fake on this one, as it's a yo mama joke "Yo' mama so stupid, she sold her car for gas money!"
(-1)I agree with #90!! besides if you had been working on it for several years and she was only able to get $100 out of it then she was doing you a favor... YDI!
#91 - On 12/29/2009 at 11:42am by Stang4life
(0)OPs mom probably said "I have a car that my son's been working on. You can have ti for 100 bucks."
They didn't say it was worth $100 but Mom probably didn't know much about cars and just wanted the money she needed.
#93 - On 12/29/2009 at 12:39pm by boatkicker
(-1)Honestly, i`d have to bitch slap the whore. Selling something that you`ve been working hard on for years. That`s just not right.
#92 - On 12/29/2009 at 12:20pm by CooroDragon
(-1)That totally sucks. I say you get $100 bucks, call the guy who bought the car and explain that it wasn't your mother's car to sell. If he's a reasonable person, he'll understand and accept his money back and return your car to you.
And I would guess your mother did it for more than just Gas money. Probably to spite you. I've known people selling both junkers and relatively pristine cars. Usually takes about a month to find a buyer, no matter how small the cost.
#94 - On 12/29/2009 at 12:51pm by 22milesaway
(-1)I'm with 94. If its a unique car, you can probably track down the car or the buyer. Explain to them calmly what happened. There has to be some way you can scrounge up 100 dollars. If I were the buyer, I would agree that the situation was BS and sell it right back to you for the same money. I think a lot of people here would do the same.
(-1)If you own(ed) the car, you can sue her -- stolen property.
Also, I think the part I'd be the most pissed off about is that it was ONLY sold for $100. I'm sure it was worth more than that, considering you've been working on it. I'm making the assumption that you're busy doing other things as well, which is why it's taken three years, and not that it's a POS.
(0)Well u were working on it for 3 years... it wasnt getting any better

(0)Putting sugar in a gas tank would only possibly clog up the fuel filter, as sugar doesn't dissolve in gasoline. It may inconvenience her, and cause her some expense to replace the filter, but it wouldn't destroy her engine.
(0)Yeah, actually the best thing to do is add bleach, because it's an oxidizer, which will rust the gas can, and the engine once the car is run for a few hours.
(0)sell her car for $200 and buy back your old one. have a nice day
