I have a couple of interesting ones. it was 4 F outside this morning. the first turn of the key to start the car does nothing but click once, then on the second try, starts right up. This is repeatable when the car cools down completely again. I'm guessing the solenoid or starter itself is just a little stuck and the initial turn frees it up.
I continue my drive to work and with the engine temp at normal, i notice my ABS light never turned off after starting the car, which I have never had an issue with. I turn the car off and then restart it and the light doesnt come back. This happened on my last two trips into work but no other time when it was just as cold. I'm guessing something is just a little frozen here too, and resolves itself with some engine heat.
 
My '02 LS8 has done the light trick since new. Took it back to the dealer several times. They would fix it for a few days and then it would come back. Since the ABS always worked even with the light on, I just pay no attention to it.

When I lived in Minnesota my ABS light would do that too and also CHECH advace trac. I took it in to the dealer and it turned out to be the front right ABS controler. It only happened when I left the car outside the garage in the winter. I assume there was moisture getting inside something and freezing.
