What do you hate about YOUR G35?

Does the reverse to park have anything to do with the idle speed being too high. It seems that the 1st Gens like to lose their idle speed setting on a regular basis and even a couple of hundred RPMs higher will cause a slight jerk when going from P to R.
What I hate the most is that my car is almost 10 years old and I am finding it hard to talk myself into getting rid of it because there is literally nothing wrong and it runs perfectly and needs almost nothing in the way of maintenance.

I did tell him to change the fluid since I will be changing my tranny fluid before winter as well since the cold weather will be even harder on the transmission especially with the constant tire slipping due to snow and ice.
He went to a shop to get that done the other day and the tech. told him that changing the fluid in the tranny would actually make the problem worse??

I figure there is no sense in keeping that dirty fluid in there as it will just get dirtier and dirtier over time and probably turn into sludge.
Now I'm kinda 50:50 about changing my tranny fluid lol.

So I took a better look at his car and discovered that the jerk/clunking noise only happens when the car is cold and goes away when the car is warm and has been driven for a bit. Which makes since the fluid isn't at operating temperature to lubricate effectively.
