Understood, its still possible that you were given a bum starter. If its 6 or 7 months old, they should be willing to test it.

Technically, I think the issue I had was the solenoid, but since they come as one unit...

Was it a OEM starter?

Yes it was. Also, I went to another auto store to get a second opinion on the problem. THEY SAID (and I was looking at the machine) THAT IT WAS A "BAD BATTERY"!!! So, after they jump me off to get out of there....

I drove down and got a new battery (it was free because it was still under warranty)! Changed out the battery right there in the parking lot and VROOOOOMMM!!!! I come out this morning before work to start her and VROOOOOMMM!!!! It seems that it was just the battery after all. I'll let everyone know if things change (I pray that they don't). I love this board! Thanks, everyone!

That would have been my next suggestion. I know you already had it tested, but batteries can have some weird quirks that don't always show up. Worst case scenario is that you have a new battery. Keep an eye on it, I hope that solves it.
