Default Speaking of electrical gremlins....

My car always had an issue before of every now and then not starting, no click, nothing. Then after a few minutes, it would start. This problem got progressively worse to the point that it was happening every week or so, also causing goofy headlight issues (HIDs wouldn't fire up) and weird climate control issues where the AC would not come on and my outside temp gauge would go to -50. I was seconds away from ordering a new ignition switch, when I figured I'd check the battery....it was bad. Changed it. Not a single problem in over 4 months. Crazy.

Hmmmm.. that's a thought. But I never have problems starting the car though.. And if it was battery, why would some of the lights still comes on? wier!

I'm surprised your sunroof wasn't opening on its own every time you started the car.

Default Previous owner installed HIDs.

I love em'. Never need to use my fogs and rarely my brights. Freaked me out though when I was having battery issues.
