it was -22 degrees (when the forecast said it should be -6, so the block heater wasn't plugged in)

the car needs a new starter motor (it seemed to be functioning a bit odd recently)

Hmn... maybe the guys who changed the oil in Dave's car yesterday are to blame

most likely your battery is wearing out. If it has sat cold and discharged for a few hours this will permanently damage some cells in the battery, giving you less power for starting. Canadian tire does battery load tests for free.

Without actually hearing what it was doing, or getting a more detailed description from Dave, I can' diagnose it from a province away. I'm usually decent at figuring out what the problem is, but I have to be able to listen and observe to do so.

I'm not crazy...oh, wait, nevermind.
