Car dont start Can't Post

Hi, there. I live with one of my friend. I have a nissan almera Auto, 1996. The problem is my friend always want to take my car out for his own purpose. I cant say no to him as he is very close to me. Is there any technique that i can apply so that he cant start the engine with my key. I tried to take one of the fuse out under my dash board but the car still moves. I can take couple of the the distributor valve out but if he opens the bonnet, he will see it and i will be in shame.
Is there any other easy way that i can apply. Please help me.

Buddy: There are things I could suggest but now I'm off of my automotives and on to personal advice which is cheap. I really suggest you make it understood with your friend that the car is not for his use to drive. Perhaps offer to take him where he needs to go if just for an errand. Offer to take him to find a car of his own even. Trust me - you'll mess up a friendship if something goes wrong with the car and you aren't the driver.

Sure there are things you could do to disable the car but then what are you going to say when you are able to use it?

Discuss it with your friend,

This is a 1st. I can honestly say I have never seen a problem like this. Tom is right, you need to talk to your friend dude. If it don't run for him, but runs for you, he will be suspicious. I was going to say install a battery Isolation switch under your seat, but this is something you need to talk out.
