there are 2 nice s430's but only one gets remotely taken care of, and believe it or not i thought the same thing about parking next to the mb (respect and all right) but it is quite the opposite for the old man who owns that s430, he treats it like *** and i've see him throw open his door many times and hit other cars in the parking lot, i usually try to avoid parking next to him as much as possible and whenever i go out in the morning and notice his next to mine i go check for marks first thing... there are about 13 small various 3 series-ish convertibles a few jags & cadis a lot of bmw's and mb's but only one other lex (IS), only one scion too which is my wifes (XA). no garage and way to many old people with money = lots of poorly kept expensive cars.

Thx for the feedback, I bet you wish there were assigned parking spots. 
Stay away from the guy who probaly opens his door with his foot, sad people want nice whips but have no clue how to take care of them.

yeah i kinda wish there was assigned parking (go figure - cuz i used to hate it). i was messing with my front lowering sensors on sat and that old guy pulled up in his mb s430 and there was an even older guy sitting in the back seat (prob his father i believe) and they were just getting back from lunch when they pulled up. i watched both the driver side doors fly open narrowly avoiding the cadi they parked next to and then i hear the wife say something about hand me a towel or napkin quick your father spilled his spaghetti leftovers from lunch. the owner/ driver said don't worry about it pop i'll go get a towel from inside and come back to clean it up... i saw the old man get out with a completely empty take out box container that looked like it was at least half full of spaghetti & red sauce that apparently spilled somewhere inside that s430 with the light color interior. i was out there for about 15-20 more minutes and i never saw anyone come back out to clean up the mess. one of my other neighbors has had a bmw service vehicle instead of her bmw now for about 2 weeks, and no she does not work for bmw.
How much a car worth has no relation to how well it's owner treat it, everything is relative and everyone has different preferences.
A Civic that worth $2k might be everything to a poor guy, but a Bugatti Veyron could mean nothing to some billionaire.
Parking next to a Veyron doesn't guarantee he won't give you a door ding
Actually a lot of times, the more expensive a car is, the less the owner care about it, because it means less to them.

That's the way it is, I park away from everyone, I don't care what kind of car it is.
I once saw a lady who treat her daily driven Porsche 911 Turbo like a $200 1987 Sentra, her 911 haven't been wash in what seems like a few years, paint faded, big dent on the quarter panel, the front spoiler is torned half way, half is still attached, half is dragging on the ground, all rims are curbed to hell, rear muffler is backed into and all bent and deformed. When I saw it, the car was only 2~3 years old, it is still an expensive car!

yeah, there needs to be like an agency who goes and rescues vehicles that are being abused by their owners,, like that one that comes and rescues pets from abusive homes... 
but on the flip side i think its hilarious sometimes to see some guy with an 88 honda accord that spends like 4 hours cleaning it and waxing it up and shinning up the old *** dash pieces, when its all said and done he is still driving an old *** honda.
