Marie Celeste cars

This is the sort of thing that can only happen when the money people are spending is not their own but other peoples - which is a feature of Government spending.

And what has happened is Miami Dade County in Florida has discovered that it has 298 cars in storage that have never been driven in the five plus years the county has owned them.

An awful lot of them are Toyota Prius Hybrids - which leads to the question, does anybody actually buy a hybrid  with their own money or are the majority of such vehicles bought with from the public purse?

The world turned many times while these cars gather dust and would have continued to do so if there existence had not been exposed in a Spanish Language Newspaper leading red face beaucrats to rush   at least some of them into service.
