When you tried to start it at the gas station did it just click like the starter wouldn't spin or just nothing at all? Sounds like the solenoid or starter itself has a bad wire or the parts are bad themselves having higher resistance when hot. Check your grounds too from the engine to frame,firewall,etc...

It clicked as if the battery was almost fully drained, not a repeated click. Then this morning it kinda slow cranked a little and then sped up and fired. Thinking it's the solenoid and potentially the battery is too small to be located in the trunk...

That I haven't figured out! I crawled under it as best I could as it runs through the trunk floor but I can't find it underneath so maybe to the frame above the gas tank? I need it on a rack to look at it. It's going into TrueStreet on Saturday though so I'll have them go over everything while it's there.
