Someone on Craiglist has come up with a brilliant idea for getting free parking in Brooklyn. He'll allow the proud owner of a driveway-equipped house to display his "brand new shiny 3 series" for all to see:

Unfortunately, anyone wealthy enough to have their own piece of ashpalt in Manhattan has enough money to buy 10 of whatever car they want. And in Park Slope, a Prius would be way more desirable as a driveway trophy. All in all, if someone is impressed with you for having a new 3 series in your driveway, they'll probably be asking you for money very soon. I think most people look at 3 series BMWs and their drivers in one of the following ways:
-Could care less cars
-Obnoxious yuppie/frat boy/spoiled teenager
-Already has one or has something he likes more
As good a car as it may be, I think you'd get more bang for your status buck by spending your lease money on a night of bottle service at a club, walking around the neighborhood with a private bodyguard for a day or signing up for a high end yoga class.
