Just Got A G, Pic and I Got Questions

Im a college student and I just got a GREAT paying internship with Alcoa. I just bought an 05 G35 coupe, 45K miles and I love it. It already has the windows tinted, but Im thinking of going darker. Im also gonna tint the head lights and tail lights but i have a few questions:
Questions:

1) Its an Auto, and can the trip-tonic accidently be knocked on if in drive past what "1st gear" would be? Or can it be accidently be knocked over when your driving 60-70 mph and would it go straight to 1st gear and blow the engine up haha???

2) I still have a around $1000 left...what performance parts or parts at all should I get to upgrade my car.

3)Any G35 owners/car clubs in the Tennessee, knoxville area?

Thanks Guys/Girls

if your going 60-70 thats 5th gear.

moving it would drop 1 gear. it only drops a gear if its in 5th.

Yea the first question I worded weird...

I mean if Im driving in the automatic position and If I was driving 60-70 can the gear be pushed from Auto to Triptonic and will it automatically go to the correct gear....I guess this is a weird question to ask

it will drop 1 gear- it assume you want more power, so it will downshift to 4th for you.

ALL OTHER GEARS will not downshift. your safe =)
