Craigslist is full of amazing gems if you're willing to spend some time digging, and this guy is one of them. This nice man is offering to use your indispensable, coveted New York City parking spot... for free! He says, "I am offering to park my Brand New shiny BMW in your drive way. Cost to you is $0. Not only will it increase your status in the neighborhood, but it will also make your house look GOOD! I'm a pretty generous person, so I want nothing in return for this privilege! Park Slope only!" We have a bad feeling he's only half kidding.
