When Locked In Trunk...Published August 22, 2008 @ 17:29 in Ford Focus Test Drive
If you're "accidentally" locked in the trunk of this car, there's a well marked emergency escape mechanism. For some reason the image associated with this handle made me chuckle.
7 Responses to "When Locked In Trunk..."Apparently after releasing the latch you have to spring up and out of the trunk, setting a record for the longest jump out of a moving vehicle, then sprint away as fast as you possibly can before the driver notices. Stephanie Wilkinson Mike, did it seem like the trunk was big enough for a couple of people? Maybe they were thinking of the drive-in movie crowd having an escape hatch if they were stuck in a long entry line. If that car was built in Oakville, we do have a nice Drive-In right on Ninth Line about 2km from the Ford Plant. Stephanie Wilkinson (now I'm getting a giggle out of the Google-ad choices on the left....) Toronto Mike I suppose this trunk could fit two people if they were midgets. And yes, the Five Drive-In is right there. Still, I think it's more of a mob protection feature. Mississauga Mike Funny, my Dad was just showing me this last week on his Impala and I found it pretty damn funny. Especially the image! are we so stupid / clumsy as a people that its a major consideration when purchasing a car that you actually ask the sales person "hey.. umm.. is there an emergency release to get outta the trunk from the -inside- ?" "ummm.. no ?" "AHHHHGgGG no deal" lol. ..or are the car companies sooo worried about mob activity that -this- is there way of fighting back / preventing crime ?
