If it's a nice car I often park next to it in the back of a parking lot. I do this because I assume they care about their car as much as I do. This way we each have a side of our cars covered by someone who gives a rip and won't ding the doors. If you park all by your lonesome, you never know who will park next to you. But if you choose a car to park next to, you're increasing your chances of a non-issue.
There are no places where I am where there are empty parking lots with faraway spaces, unless you really go searching them out. So if you are parked in one, it means that you drove around for an hour looking specifically for a secluded parking spot, and people normally only do that if they have a good reason.
People here don't really worry about parking next to other cars since nobody cares about door dings. Here's a picture from my parking garage where my car is currently parked; I took this picture last night, trying to get the license plate, which unfortunately washed out in the flash (it says "BABYLMBO"). It's a Gallardo parked next to a CLS63 AMG, and parked next to that out of frame were, in order and right next to each other, a Maserati Gran Turismo, an Aston Martin DB9, a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (easily the ugliest Ferrari, in my opinion), and then my Mustang. Everybody always parks next to each other. So yeah, if I saw an Aventador parked way out in the middle of nowhere in an empty parking lot, I'd assume it was somebody either do drugs or having sex in it.
Hah! Yeah, I'm usually on the 4th or 5th Floor, Deep Impact Blue GT currently running snow tires on no-name TireRack wheels.
Wow, I didn't know there was an S550 in this lot! That's my hood in the foreground.
I have to agree I've done this before; especially with C7s or Ferraris- more expensive cars than my $40k Mustang.
ya doing good huh ,real good

If you ever want to see REALLY nice cars, that garage is the place to be, in Battery Park City. There's a Rolls-Royce Phantom more or less permanently parked in front of the entrance, and a McLaren MP4-12C that sometimes also parks on the ground floor. Go through the whole garage (it's seven stories, including the roof deck) and you'll basically see every single exotic you can imagine -- all manner of Porsches and Ferraris and Bentleys and Aston Martins and Maseratis and you name it. Parked alongside Honda CR-V's and Transit Connects and seemingly every single 3 Series ever made. I haven't seen any S550's aside from mine, though. But somebody has a SWEET grey 2013 Rousch there.
I used to work in the area but never frequented that garage. A few people did mention to me that there's never a shortage of nice cars in there. It's self-park, right?
I Park my s550 on 6th? (Black level on the elev buttons) i usually do rooftop special with the construction workers. I havent seen a single s550 in the wild except mine. when i had my blue genesis coupe i used to park there all the time, but ive only driven down three times since i got my ecoboost. But because i only need to go to work 14 days in february, i may drive down instead of my usual metro north from westchester.
Welcome to the jungle better known as New York City, particularly Manhattan.
Yes, and rooftop is $19 for 12hrs, but spots are kinda narrow on the roof, albeit most construction workers seem to respect other vehicles, as i did not get a single door ding or scratch up there.
Is that an early bird special? Seems kinda cheap, even for the area. I would park by WFC and most of the garages were $25-$30 for 12 hours (early bird pricing).
i park very early, with empty spaces around me. When i came back at 3pm, there was an M4 and a 911 parked next to me, along with utility trucks and other average cars. It really is a weird lot.
