    I think after the potato hardens, its pretty damn hard to take out. You must have some enemies cause that sure is a shitty deal. Good thing it popped out though.

    If it doesn't come flying out at 50 mph, the potato will cause excessive back pressure and kill the engine. It may also do damage to the engine.

    Only thing I can suggest is a security camera, and a grill over the exhaust pipes to keep potatoes out / turn existing potatoes into fries.

    There is a list of EVERY wire you need to install one of those on the rolla. You may have to dig far back. I forget who it was that posted it. Just search the keywords, "alarm wiring". I beleive XTM blah blah was the user. He was big into car audio stuff.

    So you could buy the ones off ebay and install tyourself if you wanted to.
