Wonderful :x
At least it's a 5spd if it decides to go while I'm out somewhere :P
Push start ftw.
edit: I've always had a little chatter at startup since the winter started, it always disappears quickly but has never been near as loud as it was today, I'd say 80% louder than usual, but also colder than usual. It doesn't chatter like that after the first start sitting in the cold... When it did that this morning, I shut the car off after about 15 seconds, started it again to try to get the noise again, and it didn't happen. It doesn't give me my usual first cold start chatter when I start it the second and so on time of the day, only when it's sat in the cold for awhile.
