A 'junked out car' is not a good idea. Oil, brake and tranny fluids, gasoline, antifreeze and who knows what else would only pollute the lake; and, how would you propose getting it out after it sunk? I think the 'ice out' condition is usually defined as half the water being open and free of ice-- does Park Board have a definition and/or keep track of such things?
