No, No, No. All it would take to fix that is for somebody to BACK INTO a space so that the passenger doors are close to each other and the shifting problem would be solved.
When somebody parks all cockeyed, it doesn't give anybody else an excuse to do the same thing. Instead, it means everyone who isn't a complete and total rectal orifice will have to work harder to stay on the human side of the equation.
The orange paint by itself looks good on that car.
The rest of the General Lee motif is, at minimum, tacky.
What's tacky is the use of mexican-chrome trim around everything ala cheap GM crap. Paint all that garbage flat black, limo tint the windows, and I think the General's Orange (flag and all) would look better than every other color combo in that photo. It would at least make the "borrowed" styling look a little more aggressive on an otherwise boring looking car.
While looking for a picture of a friend's ITA race car - the "General Li" (it's an Asian thing) I found this thread:
"Respect the General"
I had no idea it was a whole thing.

Friends don't let friends apply limo tint.
I agree about nixing the chrome trim though.
The flag is tacky to me. If you like it, more power to ya. The orange is the best color there.
