Regarding Manual and Power Tailgate

As you know it is a common practise in the Mafia (at least on TV) to transport the guys they kidnap in the boot to a quiet location before they get wacked, obviously if you can open the boot from the inside that makes a very poor car choice in that line of business.

I hope I did not offend you in any way; there was nothing personal in my comments, it was just a poor attempt to be humorous.

Hi DEFRO..!!

Thank you for the explanation!!

First of all I was confused.Secondly knowing Tony Soprano and what he does I felt a little offended.Then thirdly I saw the humour - and I came to the conclusion that you meant the bodies would be in the back - button pressed - tailgate goes up -bodies fly out into the underpass.. - which would make it a good choice - or bad if the person can escape as you suggested..!!!..lol

No worries I do see the humour - and I never judge or condemn before explanation as one may come to an incorrect conclusion.

I did have to laugh when I thought more about it though

No worries
Cheers

I am glad you see the funny side LOL and it raises an interesting question about the mafia's modus operandi, is it generally boot and whack or whack and boot as you suggested? But since it has nothing to do with the Volvo XC60 I think it is best to leave this question unanswered here
