That is ALWAYS a good strategy! I do that all the time - gotta find a guy who loves his little snowflake as much as we love ours.
Like GG says, I do park next to the nicer vehicles (tho I suspect my wife may not think twice about this). I also look for where the is no parking spot on the right (last spot on the right) - since every car has a driver door opening up, but not necessarily will every car have the right passenger door opened (i.e safer to have a car parked on the left of your vehicle, than on the right).
