Have you ever bought a brand new cars only to forget where you put it? How about 300 of them? Probably not – unless you're Miami-Dade County, which was recently reunited with 298 vehicles it bought brand new between 2006 and 2007.

The county "discovered" this fleet of no-mileage vehicles after reading about them in a Spanish-language newspaper there (see the source for more images). Most of the misplaced motorcade is made up of Toyota Prius hybrids whose warranties either expired with very few miles on the odo or will very soon.

Seriously?

How do you forget TWO FULL PARKING GARAGES OF VEHICLES?

Makes you wonder how much this happens I mean on a smaller scale a little here a little there I bet a lot.

By the way that is the same parking garage from different points of view at different times you can plainly see the rail junction in both photos.So it is one full parking garage.

The top photo looks like Prius the bottom one looks like a bunch of Crown Victorias(maybe the Police Interceptor package) panel vans(useful too cops and utility workers) and trucks useful to all manner of supervisors.

300 Prius' What were they going to reenact the 300 Spartans but with cars?

How much you want to bet that when the cars were first purchased there were politicians crowing about how much money they were saving "the people" because of the fuel efficient cars they just got.
