This reminds me of an odd sight. You sometimes see cars carry trailers for transporting large items. But the other day I saw a Honda Accord (Accura) with a large storage box hanging off the rear! The box was painted in the same silver colour as the Honda to give a neat integrated appearance, an extra registration plate was also mounted on the box. This contraption extended the length of the car by approximately 3 feet. I wonder about the legality of this arrangement, not to speak of the effect on the handling of the car? Johannes
