Default I can't start my S2000 today

when I woke up this morning I started my car and it wont start. It took two time for it to start. Is this normal or I should take it to the dealer to have them look at the ignition?

I got an 07 still under factory warranty

Was it a lot colder than normal?
The ECU will adapt to colder temperatures after a couple rough starts if that's the case.

The headlight fluid reservoir is located next to the horn oil pan, right below the rear transmission. When changing headlight fluid, make sure someone checks the differentials in your dash light that lets you know your headlight fluid is low. It could be that the fluid leaked from your turbines, but you never know unless you get that checked out, too.

Also, you may want to avoid parking on a hill because the "park" only locks the flywheel, not the other three wheels.

This doesn't apply if you have Volks, 'cause all your wheels are fly, right?
