Nine Years Later…
So, I got my little convertible when I was a senior in college. I had just gotten my official offer letter from Microsoft, and I triumphantly took it to the dealership and demanded a car. That was back in June of 1998.
Today, in April of 2007, I just discovered that I could lock my trunk so that it can’t be opened using the lever inside the car. I accidentally turned the key the wrong way and discovered that the lock responded positively to this “abuse.” Curious, I tried the lever in the car, and lo and behold, the trunk stayed securely closed.
I don’t think that knowing this would have made my life any easier in the last 9 years. There were never any times where I thought to myself, “Boy, if only I could lock my trunk shut.” But I have to admit that it is a little embarrassing that I didn’t realize my car could do that until just now.
I just hope I’m not missing anything really cool that my car can do…

haha. that’s awesome. Did you also know that when you click that little button on the left, the windows go down?
I use the trunk-lock on my car all the time to protect stuff I don’t want stolen. I learned this lesson the hard way when my golf clubs were stolen out of the trunk of my car.
