Today, my girlfriend's dad let me borrow his car for transportation to work because mine got totaled. This car is a complete dump and I've realized he's only letting me use it so it's my fault to fix the broken things on the car. So far, I've had to replace the battery and two popped tires. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend wrecked our car. Now I can't get to work in order to make the money we need to buy a new one. FML
Today, I got woken up by my parents telling me I had to go buy a car so they could have transportation. Neither of their cars work, so I was letting them use mine, and then they wrecked it. It needs nearly a thousand bucks in repairs to be drivable again, but since it was my car, I have to replace it now to appease them. FML
Today, my fiancée wrecked my car so I had to use my other car to pick her up. Ten minutes after I did, my other car broke down in the middle of the road and I had to get it towed. My insurance covers none of these incidents. FML
Today, my car broke down. My dad insisted he could fix it, but screwed up in the process. After finally getting the car towed to a mechanic, I was told that I'd only needed a new water pump, but thanks to the damage my dad did, fixing it all will cost me a small fortune. FML
Today, I got a text from my dad asking about my car in the shop. I'm trying to show them that I can actually be independent, but now they know that not only will it cost all my savings account to fix it, but also that my boyfriend will be driving me to work for the next month while the shop waits for the parts. FML
Today, my car broke down. My boyfriend, who is not too handy, insisted on fixing it. He called me outside and said he was done and started the engine. Moments after rejoicing, it burst into flames. FML
Today, I found out my girlfriend is only with me because I'm a mechanic and I fix her constantly broken-down car for free. FML
Today, I just bought a car with all of my own money. Then, when I brought it home my dad informed me that my mom will be driving it to work every day. FML
Today, I got a rental car because my car needed new tires and I had a long drive ahead of me. Today, the rental car got a flat tire. FML
Today, I bought my very first car that I spent years saving for. A few hours after I signed all the papers, I let my boyfriend go for a test drive. He totaled it. FML

Sounds like it might be worth getting a rental car instead of dealing with his manipulative BS. It sound like he's either trying to make you mad about it so he can play victim to try to make your GF mad with you or make it financially difficult for you to date her.

I'd immediately give him back his car and rent a 2017 car.

I sort of agree, rental car might not be cheaper though depending on location and car and if it is his only car should be happy no matter how trash it is he trots you of not only car wants free repairs

Replace your car and give his back. It might be that is the best he has. And watch out, daughters are often have the same values as their dad.

My dad is petty and does things like this, it makes me embarrassed of him and it most certainly doesn't make me want to do the same.

Send him a bill for the stuff you fixed/replaced. His car, his responsibility. Unless you actually broke something, you only have to pay for filling up the car with gas if you're borrowing one.

You are choosing to replace these items. You could just return the car.

Don't pay for his car's repairs. That's his responsibility. You'd be better off renting a car temporarily or learning the bus/train schedule. Maybe ask your coworkers if they'd be willing to give you rides in exchange for gas money?

Soooooo when you're done with the car, I think it's totally your right to keep the items you supply during your time of use and then return it the way you got it, just with the gas-tank at the level you found it. Then sell the parts you had to buy if they won't be of any use to your own car. I mean, it might've been a kindness in a way, but if it's a dump, maybe you don't have any obligation to fix it, especially if you'll be needing to get a new car.
