i started my car this morning and it was making a weird sound but i drove it anyway and about a 100 yards from where it was parked it died and started smoking and the lights on my dash started going off and on. It was weird then when i popped the hood the battery and where you put the oil was smoking and it was making this godawful noise.
does anyone know what might be wrong?
