Somewhere in Illinois sits a 2001 Volvo S80 living its best sad-boy island life, stranded on a tiny speck of land in a man-made lake like it lost a bet with Poseidon. Local legend Scott Mann put it there 13 years ago, cut the land bridge with an excavator, and said “lol figure it out.” It now has a 4.9-star Google rating because nothing screams “must-see tourist attraction” like a depressed Swedish sedan slowly becoming one with nature. Move over Statue of Liberty.
