hmm, I had an alternator go on me 2 yrs ago, It got to the point where the electronics power would dim real bad, then the funnyest thing happened,ALL the car's electronics died, but the motor was still kickin, I was driving for 5 mins in the middle of the winter 2 yrs ago, with no power steering, no lights, break pressure was also not that great, it was starting to get rush hour, and I was able to park the car in a busy mall parking lot safely nose out.

left the car, my friend came with his battery pack, boosted it for a bit, then was able to drive it home which would have been a 10 min drive, took me 25 mins, had to rev the sh!t out of it the entire way, but made it, paid about $100 for a new alternator from my buddy, and she was good as new.
