Not that I want to see anything go into the lake, and I will probably get flamed for this..

But you guys are talking like a car is the same as the Mount or some sort of major spill!

A typical car or truck only holds 5-8 quarts of "heavy oil" and at most 30-40 gallons of gas assuming a full tank. Both which are pretty sealed up. So while some oil and or gas would leak out, it would be very minimal. Any gas will eventually evaporate and any oil would most likely be dissipated rapidly.

There is very little possibility of damage to the lake...
