I noticed that in the morning, when I start the engine it makes a raspy sound briefly , as its turning over. Its as if something is rubbing or theres some resistance. Its only really apparent when I have the drivers side door open otherwise I can't really hear it. Its definitely coming from the engine compartment. Is this normal or is it indicative of a problem?

Good tip, I think I've read about other user's starter motors going bad. Has anyone had that happen? What are your symptoms?
The sound I described above only seems to happen if the car is sitting overnight. Maybe I can record the sound and post it for reference.
