Only one question: Did your parents co-sign for the Evo?
If so, I'm betting they're first on the title, aren't they? The way see it, you have two choices...smile and apologize, or give them their car and move out.
My two cents.

all i gotta say is if you think it will solve the problems, do it, if you really want the car don't do it.......i'm sure if you sat down with an open mind, and talked to them....you both could get something out of it...i think what you guys need to do is sit down and talk about things..
they are your parents... that is their job to be protective... if they weren't, they aren't really good parents...
i think you need to show more respect for those who care about you first...
then empathize with them, tell them you understand how they feel, but you need to drive your car a bit... ensure them you'll stay out of trouble...
once they give you their trust... be out!

Sounds to me like there's a whole lot of people out there that weren't raised to respect anyone. If my kid said that to me he'd get knocked on his ***. He also wouldn't be living at home and driving a $30k car in the first place - that's lame. This whole thread makes me sad. What were your parents doing while you were growing up to make you so mad at them? That's not directed at Importpepe, but all of you that think your parents should "eat dick". How sad.

Claudius, if you think I am the type of kid who does drugs or smokes or drinks, you are gravely mistaken. I don't want to make it sound as an attack, but it surely isn't by any means. I'm not the type of kid who does those things. Sure I may go out to raves and stuff, but I only go there for the music, NOT for the drugs. Been like that for 3 and a half years, when I first started going to raves, with the Love Parade 2000 being the first
I have never drank alcohol, I have never done drugs, I have smoked only once, never again, and lastly, I DO NOT street race. I surely hope they don't assume I street race, because I am very mature enough not to street race. You may assume that due to my young age, if I see someone revving their engine at me, that would provoke me to race him, but here's the thing: I don't. I become the bigger man and ignore him. Not once have I gone to street races with my Evo. I think it's stupid. Others may not share the same opinion, but I respect theirs in return. I just don't understand why they keep trying to be such overprotective jerks to me, when they clearly know I'm responsible.

I will tell you this as a parent and as a grown up child of my parents. Your parents are worried about you and with or without cause, they are still going to do all they can to "protect you". Of course, this is going to infringe on your self determination. This is a tough situation and it'll not be solved for a few more years or perhaps until you move out on your own. If you are old enough to take responsability for your actions, you deserve manumission. However, along with that comes complete self reliance.... Don't sell your car or fight with your folks if you can avoid it. I'd advise a more patient approach and if that does not work, you must either resign yourself to living under their control or moving out.
Good luck,
Manuel

In the very least tell them to eat a fat dick, you bought the car and you can drive it whenever the **** you want. Then storm out of the house, drive to your gf's have sex with her and then go eat some chicken wings and drive your car (not all at the same time).
Don't sell your EVO, think about how much you love it and about all us poor poor Canucks who aren't priveleged enough to have EVO's in Canada....

keep the car pepe!!!!!!!! u know what, almost every parent is like that, after you go away to college/ are out of the house 90% of the time your parent's will start to leave you alone. my mom used to ***** about everything and i would always say "yes mom i know", and then make up some bs like you're going to get a slurpee or deposit some money b/c you dont have time the next day or something. and if they're still rattling on (in the other room) just get up and go..they'll be talking to themselves for a few minutes and realize you're gone...but they'll get over it
If I ever saw you talking to your parents that way then I WOULD SMACK YOU. And unless you are over 6'2" 245 and not fat, then I AM bigger than you. Seriously, where would you be if they kicked you out of their house, you would probably have no choice other than to sell your Evo. If you are a responcible young adult then prove it and act like it. By the way I would think that several people here telling you that you are in the wrong are not much older then you, I am only 28 but I sure as hell appreciate all that my parents have done for me.

If you live there rent free it is the same as your parents paying for your Evolution.
In other words, if you can afford an Evolution because of your parents help(rent free) they are paying for it.
Take the emotion out it and you will find a solution much faster.
Emotions should never be involved with ANY problem solving.
It sounds like you and your parents need to mature a bit.
My 2 cents
Good luck
