The Lake God keeps asking for wilder and wilder offerings to restrain The Goose Orcs from going on a killing spree through Byrd Park. Shit has gotten out of hand.

Probably floated for a while until it filled enough to submerge. Cars have lots of air voids and foam in them that would be bouyant.

This is also why you don't drive through water on the road during flood conditions. People think of cars as these super heavy things that should have no trouble fording, but they float a lot easier than you'd expect.

I really want to know HOW this happened according to bystanders and the person(s) operating the car/in possession of it. I’m curious about how people tell the story of such an incident to themselves and others regarding control (or lack of it), responsibility, and accountability/blame.

That makes makes more sense at face value than anything else I can come up with. The stolen car-joyride-dump scenario happens often enough, but why drown the car instead of abandoning it somewhere random? Is it just for kicks and/or to ruin any chance of finding evidence?
