Question Weird Starting Problem

So when I got my car, first thing I did was get a car starter/alarm installed. I've had no issues with starting the car, the worst I've experienced was having to attempt to start it twice and that was in the summer. However, lately my car has been acting strangely. My wife took it to go shopping, it was about -35c and she was in the store maybe a half hour. When she came out, the car wouldn't turn over or do anything. When I got there to pick her up, out of frustration I just tried using the car starter, and it started up without any issues. Do you guys think this is something related to the car or the car starter or the key? It's happened to her 2 or 3 times now, but has yet to happen to me..

Also, a little off topic, anyone know how much it costs to have your rear bumper replaced? Got hit & run in a parking lot and have a hole and a crack in my bumper.. Everyday I drive it I cringe about the amount of salt and snow getting in there...

I dont know whats wrong with your startup but I recommend you get a EVO rear bumper instead of purchasing an OEM lancer bumper which will cost you more if you dont go through your insurance, even if you use your insurance just have them write you a check then buy the bumper then save the rest. You can get an EVO rear bumper from accolade or extreme dimensions. Accolade sells them OEM so it fits almost perfectly, minor body work if any.
