1. An apparatus comprising: an automotive storage container including at least a movable front panel and a movable top panel, each of the front panel and the top panel connected with and independently movable with respect to the automotive storage container,wherein the front panel is movable, independent of the rest of the automotive storage container to a) move into a front panel closed position to form an enclosed storage area within the automotive storage container, and b) move into a front panel open position by sliding into a second position under a base of the automotive storage container to expose an interior of the automotive storage container and facilitate external access to the interior of the automotive storage container, andwherein the top panel is movable, independent of the rest of the automotive storage container to a) move into a top panel closed position to form the enclosed storage area within the automotive storage container, and b) move into a top panel open position to expose the interior of the automotive storage container and facilitate external access to the interior of the automotive storage container,the automotive storage container further including a control device to grab and constrain the front panel in position to 1) move into the front panel closed position, 2) move into the front panel open position under the base, and 3) keep the front panel from being pulled beyond a front edge of the base of the automotive storage container, the control device including at least one of a) a cam-shaped disc or b) a hook and ball. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the automotive container includes a movable back panel and two movable side panels, the automotive storage container forming the enclosed storage area when the front panel, top panel, side panels, and back panel are interconnected with each other when in the respective panel closed positions. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the automotive container includes a back panel, a first side panel and a second side panel, and wherein at least one of the top panel, the front panel, the back panel, the first side panel or the second side panel includes at least one of a tapered end, a tongue or a groove to engage an adjacent panel. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the automotive storage container includes the base and a bottom, the bottom arranged below the base of the automotive storage container, the base connected to the bottom to form a cavity between the base and the bottom, the cavity accommodating the front panel when the front panel is moved into the second position under the base. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the top panel is movable into the top panel open position and the top panel closed position with respect to a back and sides of the automotive storage container when the front panel is locked in the closed position. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the front panel is movable when the top panel is in the top panel open position and when the top panel is in the top panel closed position, and wherein the top panel is movable when the front panel is in the front panel open position and when the front panel is in the front panel closed position. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the top panel and front panel are rigid. 8. An apparatus comprising: an automotive storage container including at least a movable front panel and a movable top panel, the front panel movably connected to a base of the automotive storage container,wherein when the front panel is positioned in an open position, an interior of the automotive storage container is exposed andwherein the front panel is movable in the open position to slide into a second position under the base of the automotive storage container,the automotive storage container further including a control device to grab and constrain the front panel in position to 1) move into a closed position, 2) move into the open position, and 3) keep the front panel from being pulled beyond a front edge of the base of the automotive storage container, the control device including at least one of a) a cam-shaped disc or b) a hook and ball. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the automotive container includes a movable back panel and two movable side panels, the automotive storage container forming an enclosed storage area when the front panel, top panel, side panels, and back panel are interconnected with each other when in the respective panel closed positions with respect to the base. 10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the automotive container includes a back panel, a first side panel and a second side panel, and wherein at least one of the top panel, the front panel, the back panel, the first side panel or the second side panel includes at least one of a tapered end, a tongue or a groove to engage an adjacent panel. 11. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the automotive storage container includes a bottom arranged below the base of the automotive storage container, the base connected to the bottom to form a cavity between the base and the bottom, the cavity accommodating the front panel when the front panel is moved into the second position under the base. 12. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the top panel is movable into a top panel open position and a top panel closed position with respect to a back and sides of the automotive storage container when the front panel is locked in the closed position. 13. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the front panel is movable when the top panel is in a top panel open position and when the top panel is in a top panel closed position, and wherein the top panel is movable when the front panel is in a front panel open position and when the front panel is in a front panel closed position. 14. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the top panel and front panel are rigid. 15. An apparatus comprising: an automotive storage container including at least a movable front panel and a movable top panel, the front panel movably connected to a base of the automotive storage container; anda means for moving the front panel into a second position under the base of the automotive storage container,the means for moving the front panel under the base further including a control device means to grab and constrain the front panel in position to 1) move into a closed position, 2) move into a first open position, and 3) keep the front panel from being pulled beyond a front edge of the base of the automotive storage container, the control device means including at least one of a) a cam-shaped disc or b) a hook and ball. 16.
