Need To Trick My Cousin From Out Of Town !!!

I know this is a funny and unique request, but i was wondering if you guys could help me out lol. My cousin is coming from out of town for 3 days, and everytime he is over here he always asks to borrow my car while im at work. I can never say no to him but at the same time i don't want him driving my car because of his known driving habits. I want to temporarily do something to my car to make him think it's not in the condition to be driven. Now im not talking about the car not starting at all because he will be seeing me use it, i just want him to think that the Use should be limited, or else the car will get worse and die on me. Perhaps something that will make it shake, or make the engine or exhaust sound loud, etc. lol. Im guessing pulling a wire or 2 would make this happen. please let me know what i can possibly do to trick him with an easy fix after he leaves. Thanks for the support.

The car wouldn't run without a fuel pump fuse.

he is much older than me, so it would be very disrespectful to just say no

"I wish I could, but I'm not comfortable with it." If you're not, you're not. If he cant accept that then you really shouldn't be worried about what he thinks in the first place.

You want to temporarily make your car run bad or loud? On purpose? Yeah, that's funny.

Un plug the Maf, unplug the o2 sensor to trip a cel, un plug a coil, disconnect any sensor under the hood.

Do you really need our help for this?

I simply dont understand how you cant tell the person, you dont want to let them drive you car. Sound rather foolish, and like you have some serious issues, but I dont know the whole story so follow above advice.

That was a well thought out insult, minus the fact that you cant man up to your own family...

This crap is off topic, and you should really be able to stand up to your own family. No one in my family drives my car except me, and no one seems to have a problem with it, and me and my cousin are very close as well. Be a man, tell him he can't drive your car. Easy as that. Don't lie to him, that's being a bit juvenile.

Seriously you would go through all that rather than say "I'm not gonna let you borrow my car"?

Yea I missed that part the first time, I saw it now.

No wiring under the passenger seat that I can think of that would make the car shake, Only thing under there should be for heated seats and power seats.

Just trip a cel, unplug the o2 sensor in the front of the engine bay, cel will come on, and you'll get bad MPG, plus it will probably smell pretty gassy.
