dude, its a machine!
please take care of your machine!
the tires are low because of science.
the battery is dead because of science, as well.
its getting cooler. tire pressure will decrease 1 degree for every 10 degrees cooler.
your issues are not even issues..
I hate my car right now, its leaking oil.

regardless, all easy fixes.
It's not like it's leaving you stranded...

Agree with you all. However I love my car and can't wait for the business trip Chicago - Detroit tomorrow mmm 
Your issues are actually not issues. It's just the part of the maintenance.
1) Tires - It's either the weather temperature change or leaking tires(Any tire shop can fix that for you without spending money for new tires)
2) Battery - Just replace it
3) Gas cap light - There are so many DIY's on that
4) CD - meeh, you still have aux but it would also bother me if not working
You can pretty much fix all that within one day and love your car back again

the part that really bothers me about the CD player is I hear them in there rotating and also not being able to get them out.
I use my phone now all the time so I don't miss the CDs its just more of an annoyance

You should be able to find a head unit from a junkyard. Just make sure it's the correct one. They are probably around $200.
Costco has good prices on Interstate batteries for about $80.

Lol 
OP hope you sort all out.. The air fix is easy.. Like they said its because of the temp drop.. Battery pffft on my 4th battery.. 3 OEM's first aftermarket one in there now..
CD player thing sounds annoying but maybe probably can get fixed.. Dont hate the car for this.. Its still running strong right?
I have never been able to test my cassette deck :/ should buy one if I can find one just to say I used it

I buy my replacement batteries from Acura. They have a 5 or 10 year warranty on them, but they never last more than 3 for me, so they end up prorating the new battery. I did disconnect my HFL which was killing the battery, so maybe the new one will last longer.
My rack and pinion is leaking, but it's been doing it for years, and I've never seen a spot on the driveway.

Yay! A thread to rant in.
My headlight has condensation like a mofo
My navi is dead, $470 to fix last I checked (FUCK YOU ALPINE!)
My tail light is cracked
I've been backed into twice this year
My dash is cracked
My interior rattles like crazy
MY CEL is on for a purge valve
My battery terminal keeps building corrosion which has eaten through my alarm sensors and fog light wires
Yeah
