I dunno man... I would think that but I don't see a bad starter keeping it from running... It seems to only do it when it's hot but I wouldn't think it would get hot driving like 3 blocks...

Terminals have a good connection and there's no corrosion on them whatsoever.
I replaced them and the battery with a red top around thanksgiving last year

I just realized that was a video! Doh!
It really looks like its not getting enough juice, do you have a voltmeter? I would check the alternator to see if it inst charging the battery enough, it should be around 14V.

It's showing it's charging on the gauge inside
I'm gonna run back up to work and check the battery and alternator and see they look. Battery is under warranty and the alternator is easy enough to swap out. 20 minute job tops

Alternator is good. I'm leaning towards a starter now... I noticed my negative cable on the battery smoking a little when I was starting it

Like Daniel said, tap on the starter and see if that does the trick

Maybe the starter is pulling way too much power
