Put a game table in the back, spray paint an Ork on the side and call it your Waaaagh Waggin.
Or, put a disco ball inside and an air matress, paint a Daemonette on the side and call it the Luv Machine.
My freinds called my first ride 'The Draggin' because it was slow, belched smoke, and about 1 out of 3 starts required a push- which meant I parked on hill sides or only traveled with my nerd herd in the back (61 chevy farm trucks dont push easy)

If its not in his name all you have to do is hide the keys. Then just pick on him for being irresponsible with things. Pin enough crap on him like a good little brother and he won't be able to drive it anymore and you get to gloat when your plan works. That or put eyedrops in his drink. He will be too busy in the can to drive.
The greater good needs some moo.

I live five miles east of Nowhere, and an hour north of Parts Unknown. There is nothing to drive to, even when I get my car.

Yeah, but then his older brother might beat the gak out of him. Then again Golden Eyed Scout is "famous" for his submissions so maybe his older brother will get his arse handed to him.

Then you are at the centre of your universe, and exactly where you need to be.
Why do you need a car in that case? I mean, if there is nothing to drive to, what purpose does having a car that you can drive to somewhere serve?
My first car was a bike. 250cc Suzuki across.
On account of my dad not letting me borrow 'his' car after my younger brother wrote off the previous one.
(Yeah, I got penalised for something HE did - go figure.)

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

My brother outweighs me by a god 40 lbs, and stands 4 inches taller then me. Whereas I had six yeras of wrestling, he had 9-10. He also doesn't fight fair.
Thumb to the eye+knee to the balls+nails down cheek+hardwood floor=pain.
Also, I meant to say there isn't anything within a reasonable amount of time to drive to. If I felt like driivng for two hours to go the movies, I would.
I don't.
But a car is still useful: It can get me to girls houses.

Seems a bit excessive - he's go the size and weight advantage, which should be plenty enough without leaving marks that others can see...

I LOVE vans. They are seriously my ride of choice. You can "pimp" them out rather easily.....thats what kids say still right? Pimp it out
It sucks youve gotta share with your brother. Just find something that he would be willing to trade his half ownership of it, for. Very easy to do really.
