A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan
officer.

She says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to
borrow $5,000.

The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the
loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce.

The car is parked on the street in front of the bank; she has the title,
and everything checks out.

The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the
blonde for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

An employee of the bank then drives the Rolls into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the blonde returns and repays the $5,000 and the
interest, which comes to $15.41.

The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had your
business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely; but we are a
little puzzled. We checked you out and found that you are a
multimillionaire. What puzzles us is - why would you bother to borrow
$5,000?"

The blond replies....."Where else in New York City can I park my car for
two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"
 
I was clued in to a similar smart parking solution in Boston by an MIT grad.
At the time, cars parked in MIT lots without the proper sticker got a $20 MIT ticket. They never towed and the ticket only really mattered if you were an MIT student or faculty member. I was heading down to the home opener at Fenway and looking forward to paying over $50 to park because my usual routine of parking at Alewife and taking the train doesn't work for midday weekday games...the garage will be completely full of commuters. For a 7pm game, enough people going home from work are leaving the garage by 5pm to ensure I can get a spot.
MIT is just across the Charles from Fenway, more or less, so for walking an extra mile or so I was able to avoid paying exorbitant garage fees. I did have an MIT ticket on the car when I got back from the game and I happily paid it, as I was very grateful to MIT for solving my problem!
This was a while back, I'd guess MIT may have clamped down on their parking situation...

Funny joke, but in real life on her return the bank would expect:
principal
interest
some sort of loan fee
fee to transfer car to parking area
parking fee
security fee
fee to retrieve car from paring area
etc.
 
I've seen this as a farmer and a city slicker banker.

Same result. Farmer got "free" parking in Manhattan or some place for the small amount of interest paid on the loan against his Oldsmobile/Truck whatever.
 
Hahaha, my father taught me to have the oil changed in Manhattan. It's cheaper than parking! Did it for years. The old Mustang had really clean oil.

Back in the 1970's and 80's, an oil change was about $15, if I remember correctly. Parking was $30-$45. I clearly remember the Italian mechanic saying, "But, eh, Mr. Cujet, d-oil, dis-clean", at which point I laughed, but enjoyed my clean engine.

Considering that the engine lasted well into the 200K mark, and never failed, I'd say it helped!

And it might STILL be cheaper than 2 weeks in a secure gaage in NYC!
 
The trick is to go to an outer borough (Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Bronx) or New Jersey and take public trans from there.

It's all about communicating with people.
