Today, I found out that my grandparents are going to take my car away and sell it because they're pissed I'm moving in with my boyfriend. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the day after my grandfather's funeral, my grandmother informed me I have 30 days to move out. I've been living with them for four years, helping take care of my sick grandfather. She's already changed the locks and won't unlock the door. FML
Today, my grandparents are demanding that I come live with them because my stepmom is pregnant. They're convinced that she and my dad are going to throw me aside once the baby is born, even though I know that's not going to happen. They're even making threats. FML
Today, I found out I will be without a car for two weeks because my mother volunteered to let my grandparents use mine while theirs is being repaired. They've been in 4 accidents over the last year. FML
Today, after being kicked out of my racist family, my boyfriend and I moved across the country to rent an apartment with my sister. My mother hates us so much she offered to buy my sister a new car to not take us in. FML
Today, my grandma moved in with us. Along with her 36-year-old boyfriend that none of us knew about. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me at my grandma's funeral. FML
Today, my parents left on vacation for the week. Taking advantage of my freedom, I was planning on having my boyfriend over. My grandparents just showed up as they "thought I would be lonely." I can't get rid of them. Looks like I'm not having any fun this week. FML
Today, my parents said that we're never going to see our grandparents again because my grandpa hit my asshole little brother with a belt for calling him a boomer. I love my grandparents so much but my parents won't listen. FML
Today, after telling my parents just exactly what I thought of them and that I was moving out, the person I was supposed to move in with called to say they'd decided they would rather live alone. FML
Today, I found out that my over-controlling parents would be moving in next door. I'm almost 23, and moved 5,365 km away to get away from them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If it is legally not your car unfortunately they can do that. It does seem rather childish of them.

if your name is only one on the title they can't take and sell it.

If they can sell the car, it is probably in their name and only nominally OP's vehicle. Seems like they let her use one of their cars, and she has come to think of it as hers.

If they own the car, it is well within their rights to take it away. Perhaps you should talk to them and find out what the problem is. While they may have deep seated prejudice, they may also have the benefit of experience and see something you don't. My parents took my car away when I moved in with my then fiancee. I ended up years later divorced and bankrupt thinking maybe I should have listened to my dad.

Unfortunately—since it's theirs—they are allowed to do that even though its more drastic than it needs to be.

If your under 18 then this is a little extreme but I see where they are coming from but it could be handled better. If you are an adult then fyl but clearly you need to get out.

if it's your car, how can they legally take it away?

if the car is in your name they can't touch it unless they want to chance auto theft charges

I feel like this would be different depending on your age. If you're like 16, YDI. If you're like 25 and BOUGHT the car yourself, then FYL.

I think that the "21" in her name is her age. So she is a grown up, and her car, even if it's a gift, should'nt be taken.

They can't do that... It's illegal

They can if it's their car. It might be in their name, not OPs.
