CAR STARTS PERFECT, DRIVE 10 MILES TO HOME. GET IN CAR AND IT WON'T START. DOES NOT TURN OVER OR MAKE ANY NOISE. JUMP START WON'T START IT. LATER GET IN CAR AND IT STARTS RIGHT UP. WHY

When this happens, I need you to check something. Have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check for voltage to the smaller wire on the starter. You should be getting 12+ volts. If you are, replace the starter. If not, let me know.
