It records everything you say so the FAA knows what happened if a plane hits your car.

Default Ah, that's a radiator shroud

They're famous for being missing. You don't really need it. I wouldn't call it a box, though :-)

Default Man, that is weird! My car doesn't have that, either. But my car is...

a 4cyl model with the radiator in front of the engine, not off to the side like the 5cyl cars. What model do you have?
