So scrolling my Facebook feed tonight, I stumbled upon an interesting post.
It simply provided GPS coordinates and a image of Google Maps providing a Volvo sitting on a mini island. Thinking it had to be fake and having better personal security than most working in finance I copy/pasted the coordinates to Google Maps.
Sure enough at the coordinates of 41°21'16.8"N 88°47'52.6"W Google Maps shows me that there is a random Volvo at that location.
The interwebs will tell you that the water surrounding it is 40 feet deep, because the surrounding lake formed when water seeped into a strip mine. I have no way to confirm any of this, but there is infact a Volvo, apparently a 2001 one, sitting on an island just slightly larger than the Volvo itself surrounded by water.
Here is a link to Google Maps if you want to take your own look

Remember when they buried a Volvo to promote one of the P irates of the Caribbean movies or something?
Did anybody ever find that?

Neat
Also I always laugh when I hear of a person named Mann. I just imagine this exchange at a blind date.
“Hello I’m Scott Mann.”
“Oh hi Scott I’m Trecy, woman”

Yep, that is what I found too. I didn’t want to quote names that I have no way of proving .

I feel like I should shoot at it

I believe I should legally state I do not condone or endorse any harm to the vehicle on the island.

They missed the key second step of a Viking funeral: setting the boat on fire.

Remember that scene in Superbad when McLovin asks if they can shoot at the cop car and the cops hand him the gun? That.
