A wealthy man walks into a bank New York City and asks for the loan officer. He says he’s going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the man hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce, which costs quarter of a million dollars.
“The car is parked on the street in front of the bank,” says the man, “and I have all the necessary papers.”
The bank officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. After the man leaves, the loan officer, the bank’s president and all their colleagues enjoy a good laugh at the man for using a $250,000 Rolls Royce as collateral against a $5,000 loan.
One of the employees drives the Rolls into the bank’s underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, the wealthy man man returns, repays the $5000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says, “Sir, I must tell you, we’re all a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and discovered that you’re a multimillionaire. Why would you bother to borrow $5,000?”
The man replies, “Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41? The hundreds I saved will buy me a few rolls of ASEs!"

There is a variation on that story (I used to live in NYC) about a shop that noticed that a particular car was getting it's oil changed every day. Short version, the person had figured out it was cheaper to drop it at the shop for an oil change and pick it up to go home, than pay for parking.
That's a good one, I like it !!!
Longacre would approve when desperate to find a place for the stretch limo.
That was originally an intelligent blonde joke...
