Car Trouble

Driving to work last night, my dashboard lit up like a christmas tree, the Low Coolant light is always on and it's been on for years, no matter what we do... the Check Engine light came on, sometimes it was just on and sometimes it was blinking... then a few miles up the road the Transmission Light came on... and when I switched lanes I had the blinker going also... the music on the radio had a hard time keeping the beat.

On the way home the same lights were on and on top of that it was raining, so I had the windshield wipers going also, all to different beats... the auto industry really needs to synchronize these things better... anyway I made it home okay... on the ride home I felt a slight vibration, so slight that I couldn't really tell if I was just imagining it because of all the lights or if it was just the normal vibrations from an older car... but there was definitely a reduced response when I stepped on the gas pedal to accelerate onto the highway. So I figured it was best if I brought it to the mechanic today instead of waiting for my day off... don't know when I'm getting it back though... hopefully it's something minor... I really don't need another big bill right now.
