The Coffee Drinker.

A man in a resteraunt complained to the waiter that there was a fly in his coffee. The waiter took the cup away and promised to bring back a fresh cup. He returned moments later. The man tasted the coffee and complained that this was the same cup of coffee with the fly removed. He was correct, but how did he know?

Push that car.

A man pushing his car stopped outside a hotel. As soon as he landed there, he knew he was bankrupt. Why?

He owned the hotel, and some natural disaster/etc. had destroyed it?

He ended up pushing the car into a no parking zone and could not go any further, before he could move it he got a parking fine (more than he had in the bank and in his wallet) and became bankrupt.

Nope... Let me pull out the magical question analyser.

His car could not run on its own, so the man had to push it.

He wound up outside a hotel, and he knew he was bankrupt. WHY would you be bankrupt if you go outside of a hotel? Hmmmm.

I know this one, but to give a bit of a push since it seems to be falling:

Was the man pushing his car because it had broken down or run out of gas?

He didn't own the car, he stole it.
When he reached the hotel he saw his name on a wanted sign and realised he had been caught. From being caught he was fined all he had left in the bank.

He had to pay the hotel all his money for taking his car through their place (maybe because its one of the posh hotels)?
