Safety First

This is a shout out to my niece Maya! She is a very brave soul indeed! A fancy feature of our new wheels is a yellow latch inside the trunk to release the trunk lock, freeing yourself from the trunk if you accidentally fell inside and a strong wind blew the door shut. Unlikely, but if you have a "worst case scenario" car designer, this feature is included. (Note to thugs - don't try to steal my car and lock me in the trunk because I can get out.) This is a new-to-us vehicle - a 2007. Who knows what methods the parents who owned this car before us had to use to keep their sanity while driving the long distances of the northern New Mexico plains? They lived about an hour south and east of Springer, and the car doesn't have tv screens in the back of the headrest. So there is a remote chance that the trunk release latch had been disabled. Maya, brave soul that she is, climbed into the trunk and let her Tio shut the door on her. Then PRESTO! The door opened, and she crawled out. Good to know it works!!!
