I believe that is your EVAP canister. It is a charcoal filter canister that stores fuel vapors when the engine is not operating.

I see, thank's for the clarification. That makes more sense to me than having it under the hood like my 89 did. Thanks for the speedy responses, I've looked at that from the back bumper for a long time, before I finally gave up and asked.

okay seeing that one really helps my brain, I couldn't tell where the hoses were coming from on or going to on mine. That top view almost makes sense. lol. Now I wish I hadn't shown everybody my rusty frame.
