My husband's car has a button on the floor between the door and the driver's seat.<br /><br />My car has the glowing lever inside the trunk, too. Regardless as to why it's there, imagine all of the people who can't resist getting in th trunk to try it out!<br /><br />PS - I guess we were in the Liverpool area a week or so after you visited. That is funny that we both ate at Seaside Seafood :) We plan to go back and try the fries in the fall, when we stay at White Point Beach Lodge.SeaShorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07199274251777490294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071145879112688737.post-31132630252880825012009-07-25T02:01:14.301+01:002009-07-25T02:01:14.301+01:00It's not a Canadian thing, she harrumphs irrit...It's not a Canadian thing, she harrumphs irritatedly. They just like to hide the button/lever. In my Canadian car, it's a lever on the floor beside the driver's seat. In my last car, it was a button inside the glove compartment. Also, I can use my key to open the trunk, as there is a keyhole.<br /><br />I guess those in-trunk handles are only good if they don't "off" you before putting you in the trunk. I like the idea of the diagram of the stick man jumping free, and wonder if handcuffs come with a diagram showing them being put on a stick figure *before* the figure is stuffed in the trunk of a car. Sort of a mafia public service announcement.

My husbands car (which is a uh...Chevy Aveo - not sure if that means ANYTHING to you) has no button inside and no visible lock or button from the outside. The trunk handle is hidden. (And I'm perilously close to having to draw you a diagram here - or throw around a lot of scientific terms like 'the thing there')Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308665452575511461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071145879112688737.post-17816578293638644932009-07-23T11:00:42.950+01:002009-07-23T11:00:42.950+01:00I think I've just learned some things here tha...I think I've just learned some things here that I'd rather not have known.....<br /><br />I do like the image of the little man leaping ecstatically from the boot - I also love the ones that warn you, if you are idiotic enough to try to break into an electrical sub-station, of the dangers of electrocution. Spanish signs are particularly dramatic, even Biblical, in that regard - huge forks of lightning striking a poor little stick man who is clearly dead before reaching the ground.rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071145879112688737.post-74860983610898909122009-07-23T03:31:58.700+01:002009-07-23T03:31:58.700+01:00Another place for an internal lever is next to the...Another place for an internal lever is next to the driver's side seat, down on the floor next to the door. <br /><br />But you're right, no buttons on the outside of the car itself. Maddening, I know.<br /><br />And yes, those glow-in-the-dark in-the-trunk release levers are required by law in the U.S. Some woman got kidnapped and was locked in the trunk of her car for a couple of days and, when she was released, she made it her mission to get those in-the-trunk levers (or whatever they're called) mandatory in all new cars.<br /><br />(All car info courtesy of my husband...)Jen on the Edgehttp://www.jenontheedge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071145879112688737.post-15888634678657082792009-07-22T23:00:06.194+01:002009-07-22T23:00:06.194+01:00There is usually a lever under the dashboard on th...There is usually a lever under the dashboard on the left most side of the driver's side which will open the trunk. I can't imagine any car without an internal release for the trunk/boot and the hood/bonnet (look at me, I'm speaking UK). Also, we have a lot of trouble with organized crime. They tend to stuff people in car trunks a lot before driving them to the desert and "offing" them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
