If I'm in my commuter Honda and I see a spot open next to a nice car, especially somebody parking like we all do, looking for cover, then I will often park next to them to give them cover. Not if the lot is sparse and they are 10 rows from the next car, but I'll do this if it is busy enough that it's likely somebody will take the spot. I figure better to have me there (guaranteed no damage) even if it makes 'em nervous. And if I'm in one of the BMWs, I will prefer to be next to something that looks like the owners care as much as I do.
And I definitely restart and correct if I'm off - even in an empty lot I feel a wave of shame...
