I agree completely, probably my favourite feature on the 86/brz/frs

sometimes I think that it's just a matter of trying to park next to a car that's obviously well kept and nice, as you know that the owner is probably just as concerned with door dings as you. if you park in a space with empty spaces beside you, who knows who will pull up beside you later.
