Yea, I'd check the battery (anything older than 3 years and I replace them BEFORE I run into problems - under $100 at O'Reilly's),

crankshaft position sensor (if you don't replace it, order one and carry it with you - $50 to $65 online),

steering stabilizer (Under $30 online, I put one on at 50,000 miles and the car drives like new - two bolts and it's changed)

and

disable the electric trunk lock (locks the trunk when the top is going up or down, they tend to fail in the locked position - this does not effect the pneumatic lock that operates with the key fob, there is a thread here about it).

That'll get you started!
