We here at randywray.com are ever concerned about your safety and well being. We don’t just publish frivolous posts about Krispy Kreme, Guitar Center and our dog (wait a minute that’s another blog).
We care about you and your safety and would like to extend to you this public service announcement.
This picture is an actual picture from inside the trunk of Ford Mustang.
Some friends from VA visited us this past weekend and were sporting this rather sporty rental car. In the process of checking out the car we noticed the large, expansive trunk. It looked large enough to store a body (or a dozen or so cases of bibles).
Obviously the engineers over at Ford considered the possibility of storing a body in the massive cavern of a trunk for they included a quick release to be used in case you ever found yourself in the back of the trunk. Who says litigation doesn’t provide results?
What you should look at carefully, pay attention to this important detail — the icons on the green lever.
According to the icons, should "a family member" stuff you in the trunk, you should . . .
Step 1 - Pull the release button down (as signified by the down arrow)
Step 2 - Wait for the trunk to open and hop out of the trunk (as signified by the open trunk and the dashed arrow line.
and finally here’s the most important step . . .
Step 3 - Run Forrest, run. (as signified by the running man icon)
Those Ford engineers thought of everything.

As the proud owner of a Ford Mustang, the first thing I’m doing after work is opening my trunk. All I ever noticed was that it was big enough for my golf clubs.

They should a/c the trunk as well.

my nissan altima (which has a large trunk, as well (2body-sized?) has that glow in the dark pull..without the cool cut-out instructions.
a couple months ago my car died in traffic (no power at all)…some nice guys pushed the car out off the road and then a policeman stopped to help.
i needed to get my jumper cables out of the trunk, but there is no key hole and it opens on power.. so i flip down the back seat, crawl into the trunk (mostly empty for once) and pulled the ‘emergency escape pull’.
the police officer had never seen one and thought it was brilliant.. course he was probably covering up his smile over the fact i had to climb into my trunk and then out after i opened it.

Where is that other blog with the Krispy Kreme, Guitar Center, and dog stories? Our car has this latch. Janice gets very frustrated that I keep getting out!

This only ads to the Mustang mystic. Makes me want to pick one up.

Would be tough to follow any of these instructions with five bullet holes in the back of your head!
Perhaps Ford/Chevy should add: “Greg, don’t touch this!”
Can Chipper pull the thing if he is locked in the trunk?
Peace.
