Cars doing some weird electrical stuff....help???

Ok, for about the past week, my car has been acting up. Ill be driving along, and all the sudden my radio will turn off and my gauge needles go wacko, then everything goes back to normal. Well the past two days, every once out of about 10 times i go to start my car, like everything thats electrical is outta whack and it wont start, but if i turn the key back off and on again, its fine....any ideas????

Hey, it's Alucard. You used to post over at thirdgen.org. I guess now your also a part of the "I ditched my thirdgen for an LS1" club.
