A businessman walks into a bank in San Francisco and asks for the loan officer. He says he is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $7,000.

The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan.

So the businessman hands over the keys to a Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the businessman returns, repays the $7,000 and the interest, which comes to $19.67. The loan officer says, "We are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little confused. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What confuses us is why would you bother to borrow $7,000?"

The businessman replied, "Where else in San Francisco can I park my car for two weeks for $20 bucks?"

that should be me in about 15 years (hopefully)

    That is true, believe it or not. Drive up in a Rolls and parking is always free with full
    24-hr Security included. Perception is a wonderful thing just like a Rolls - nothing
    compares.... http://www.productioncarcare.com/videos/like_equal.swf

      Here's another example (see below) of the Royal Rolls Treatment all RR owners seem to receive. Detailing a car is labor, plain and simple and that's about $150 on average. The extra attention a Rolls takes at least doubles the cost plus the "superior" products takes it up to $400 easily.

      Not only will the detailer do the job at NO Charge but he will be
      "honored" to do the work for the CEO's buddy right this minute.
      Now
      for the real burning question:

      What's up with those thick, blue, all caps used by this "important" CEO in all his email correspondence? I've always wanted to ask a panel of peers these questions about the BLUE LETTERS!! How does that look to the other guy, maybe another CEO or some City Official or how about to YOU?! I know it's not that important but after all these years, I still wonder!! Is that normal?

      Hello Leon,


      Wanted to know if you have a superior upholstery treatment for my Rolls? Heard you did once from your detail man. Would like him to detail the car = you said he was very good!

      How is your new product? If you still would like to discuss contacts at Costco, let me know.

      Thank you,
