+1 Always get an alignment done with a new car. They are free for the first 12 months of ownership. Frequently new cars are out of alignment either from the factory or from shipping when the cars are reefed down to prevent movement in transit. The original G35's had a TSB about pulling to the right when new.

Most Parkways are graded to allow water runoff. Most of the time, here in Florida, a 4 lane highway will be graded to the right allowing all the lanes to run in the same direction. The grading seems to be the steepest in the right lane. If I were to drive in the left lane the car will usually steer straight as an arrow. It's only when the grading gets more severe (right lane) that it wants to drift. Regardless, unless the car is on an alignment machine, the steering wheel is not usually dead centered. I have gotten used to it as it's only an OCD thing anyway

Uh, if you were left of the crown (the center of the road itself) you would either be on the wrong side of the road, on a one-way street, or in England.

Not true if your on a devided HWY the crown is still in the center. therefore if youe in the passing lane ( and you should be you drive a G37) the crown would slope to the left.

That is why I included a one-way street, because a single direction component of a divided highway is really a one-way street.
