The starter seemed to spin slower than normal. I finally just bit the bullet and had it towed to my indie who replaced it. Works fine now. I replaced the battery and the cables but still had the same problem. However, the cables needed to be replaced anyway as they had a good bit of corrosion on them (both positive and ground strap). I could have replaced it myself but was tired that day and just had the indie fix it.

At the moment this car is driven once a month or so for pleasure trips. It used to be my primary everyday driver until I was seduced by my bank vault on wheels with its 11 speaker bose audio system. I can't seem to not drive the 140 these days. I'm going to see how things go with the starter and hope that its a once in a blue moon sort of thing and my 126 is showing its personality slightly and saying please drive me. If it acts up again ill just have it replaced. I have a list of things that need to be done to the car anyway.
