Cars should always be shot on wet pavement.

I Agree but some people may not have the budget for a water-truck to follow them around :)

Why not center the car in these shots? I notice so much space to the right side of the car, but the tip of the car on the left is almost touching the edge of the photograph.

The reflections of the car on wet pavement adds "pop".
Lots of commercials and car ads have the cars on wet pavement.
