The trunk, or boot, of an automobile or car is the vehicle's main storage, luggage, or cargo compartment. Trunk is used in North American English and Jamaican English; boot is used elsewhere in the English speaking world. Trunk is also primarily used in many non-English speaking regions, such as East Asia. In earlier usage, a boot was a built-in compartment on a horse-drawn coach, used originally as a seat for the coachman and later for storage. The cargo compartment is most often located at the rear of the vehicle. Storage areas are normally at the other end of the vehicle to which the engine is located. Some mid-engined cars (such as the Ferrari 360) and rear-engined cars (such as the Volkswagen Beetle) have it in the front. Vehicles such as the Volkswagen Type 3, had storage compartments in the front and in the rear, above the low profile boxer engine. The mid-engined Fiat X1/9 also had two storage compartments, although the rear one was very small. ClassificationFrom Wikipedia under the

An automobile outside on a clear, calm night is observed to have a coating of frost over its hood, roof, and trunk lid. Interestingly, frost is absent along all sides of the vehicle. Why didn t frost form on the sides of the vehicle? Asked by soccerboy919191 - Thu Oct 22 13:46:00 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. The parts of the car you describe all face up into space. These parts radiate heat into space at night and cool below the dew point and water will condense on them. The sides do not face into space and although they too radiate heat at night this heat is reflected back to them and there isn't any heat loss.
