Thinking that the starter has a bad spot, I went and got another one from napa (yay for lifetime warranty). Installed it and then the car wouldn't start at all. I could hear it 'click' each time I turned the ignition. After hitting it a few times, wiggling the wires around, I put my old starter back. It started up just fine. I took the 'new' starter back to napa, they test it with their machine and say its fine. wtf?
I have noticed lately that more white corrosion has been building up on the battery, but it's oddly not around the terminals.

I scrapped off a bunch. That something to be concerned about? While I was at napa, I bought a terminal cleaner and used it. You think my occasional starting problems are related to bad connections or something else? My alternator is new (grrrr) and while driving I always see ~14V.
