won't nobody drive the million dollar HFC??
Strange times in Chula Vista CA as no city employees want to drive the Honda FCX fuel cell cause it's just too daunting....
So here's the story: Honda gave the City of Chula Vista a sweetheart deal, they got to lease a FCX vehicle for $500 a month. This is a pretty great price considering at this point the cars still cost around $1 million. So, what's hapened is that everyone is afraid of driving the car. Seriously no one wants to be known as the guy who crashed the million dollar car. So even though they have a local electrolizer to refill the fuel cell, and even though the car emits nothing but watter, no one wants it. They offered it to Steve Padilla, Chula Vista mayor, he said thanks but no thanks. Everybody's chicken. Even though any employee can take the car out, even for a quickie spin. No one want to be the guy who crashes it. Except for one bold young employee, yeah, you guessed it; an intern. At least the intern's got style...
