copy/pasteing~

Car battery dead other weird symptoms? related? PLEASE help!!!?
When driving to work today (25 min drive) i noticed my battery light was on. (lol)

I noticed the light would go off when i wasnt using the accelerator petal.

On the drive home (sadly with a co-worker/1 hour ago) the following things happened while driving roughly 70 mph on the freeway (in no order):

1. radio stopped functioning properly started making humming noises etc..
2. car started to...choke..? while driving and when in idle position the car was vibrating/shaking
3. speedometer stopped working..it went as high as possible
4. blinkers werent working
5. smell of gas or something
6. automatic car locks didnt work
7. car died within 2 blocks of her house after dropping her off..sigh..luckily (?) the van behind me was city workers or something and they helped me push my car into the gas station right next to us..


what..should..i..do..LOL. i got work tomorrow!! :(!!!

p.s. my friends dad is an ex mechanic..apparently? + he has a battery charger..if i use that will it be fine?

friend of the family is really good with repairing cars (30 mins drive away)

so hopefully tomorrow i can get this all fixed before work!!

what do you guys think about this situation..wtf happened..is it all because of the battery or what..(no idea why its dead btw..)

THANKS SO MUCH FOR LOOKING :D

im going to bed! ill check back tomorrow D:
