When I got home I tested the starter again, and it fired up like it should! That's weird that it wouldn't start last night. It's not like it could have overheated, because it was less than a 5 minute drive from my house.

I just hope this doesn't happen again. It worries me that I could be out somewhere and have my car not start.

Maybe the grease in there was cold and thick causing it to stick.
