This doesn't make sense.

Since when have bureaucrats been reluctant to drive a high priced car owned by the government?

It must be dangerous or something?

Send it to New Orleans. I'm sure someone there would drive it.

The high up people don't want to have bad PR from wreaking such an expensive car while the mid/low ranking people are afraid of getting fired if they hurt the expensive car.

From the article:

“I try not to drive it just because of the price,” said Claire Gomez, a fiscal office specialist for the city. “I don't want to be the one to crash it.”

GMTA. And I laughed at the line:

Any city employee eligible to sign out a car from the pool can use the FCX, from interns up to the mayor. In fact, at least one intern was brave enough to take it for a spin."

Yeah, I thought, some 18 year old Bart Simpson-type "intern" with the City Parks department.
