Topic	Do you have a car with hands free trunk release?

I'm sure there are some technical differences, but it's basically the same as a storage bin or toy chest. I'm guessing most houses have at least one. Blaqthourne posted... As for being called a boot, I was lost on it until I realized the opposite end (the hood in the US) is called the bonnet in those parts of the world (based on watching Top Gear). Thinking of a baby, you put a bonnet on the head and boots on the feet. At least, that's my guess. I don't think it has any connection with babies cloths but eh it's as good of a guess as any because I've got nothing. I found this on the trunk/boot: http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-boo5.htm And this on both trunk/boot and hood/bonnet: https://englishlanguagethoughts.com/2017/06/07/boot-or-trunk-hood-or-bonnet/ So, yeah, my guess was a bit off. I was in the general vicinity for the bonnet, though. --- Montreal Expos (1969-2004) http://www.backloggery.com/Blaqthourne Now playing: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable (PSP) -- started 4/9/2018 <cite>Blaqthourne posted [p:904794209] in Do you hav...
