It's real. It's also marked on Google Maps as a "Place of Worship" which I think is hilarious.

I'm guessing that at one point the water was frozen.
They actually excavated around the car. It was placed there on purpose to become an attraction.
Well that deteriorated quickly from oops to premeditated environmental vandalism.
It's located in a flooded strip mine, so that ship has sailed. Also from what I gathered it wasn't in operating condition before it was put there so there is a small chance it has its fluids drained beforehand.
If it was placed there deliberately, I'd say there's a near certainty the fluids were drained. It takes minutes to do.
Several litres of oil in an abandoned mine would be infinitesimal compared to the existing contamination.
That’s very true. I wish there was a funnier story behind it.
Let's take it and recycle it
Thanks, I hate it now.
Is that not what the bottom image shows?
I heard if you trade a pokemon early that can use surf and strength and then push the car off the island when you get to the S. S. Anne a Mew appears
My favourite thing is we have discovered it is possible to get a mew in red/blue/probably green directly after finishing nugget bridge.
Its not even that difficult, though catching Abra can be time consuming if you aren't abusing save states.
I can't remember which trainer triggers the mew fight, but the basic steps are as follows:
- After beating the last trainer on nugget bridge, go immediately to the left and down, and hunt for an Abra in the patch of grass (avoid the trainer there as they can be used for an advanced version of this glitch later. Make sure you do not delete teleport when you get the Abra.
- Go to the right of nugget bridge. Try and keep the trainers 1 space off screen, and line yourself up with where they will appear.
- Step into their line of sight, and press start before the encounter script triggers.
- Go to pokemon, select Abra, and use teleport.
- Walk back up towards nugget bridge. Once you cross over to another area (eg enter a route from town) a battle will trigger!
- This pokemon will always be level 7, with set stats. Each trainer will always force the spawn of the same pokemon, and when you are able to encounter dittos, you can actually forcefully spawn any pokemon you want based on your Pokemon's special stat.
Thank you for taking the time to pass the lore on to the next generation in this manner. Your loyalty and hard work will be repaid (by a possible encounter with a Mew in the afterlife, keep your pokeballs handy)
Hopefully a mew decides to come check out the tattoo of one I have on my leg!

And people say there’s nothing to do in the Midwest…
Anyone who says that doesn't know.the Midwest
There’s always meth.
And if you get bored of that, opioids
Beautiful wilderness , long hiking, a decent amount of trains, world-class museums, an expanding network of intercity bike paths, lake for fun, there's plenty of destinations to be had.
Can confirm there are lots of druggies here, send help plz.
There's an old bus on a rock in the New River in West Virginia. It's a more interesting story than Volvo Island, I think.
He used "cable wenches". Aren't they more expensive than OTA wenches.
Hey, if you're in local news in rural WV and only make one typo in a story, you're probably ready for promotion or a job in a bigger market.
Of all the typos to make it's one of the more amusing. I wonder of they were using autocorrect.
These college kids sure are creative
In this particular case, it probably appropriate to name this place Volvo island on google maps.
However, the ability to name things on google maps is often abused. People have taken to naming all sorts of things after themselves on google maps and it kinda shits me, if I'm honest.
Shits me, too
Doesn't it freeze there? It's in northern Illinois.
Judging by the lower pic, it indeed does.
