"Another one bites the dust..."

Le sigh

Currently:
Feeling: bummed out about my car
Listening: TV
Tasting: Chocolate Carnation instant breakfast
Located: living room couch

So I leave work early today to go to the museum with the school. I rush home to get me head phones for the ride up. Soon as I get on the highway my car starts to lurch and the check engine light comes on. I pull over and wait a few mins so see if it'll calm down. I start to drive again and it lurches again. Pull over turn the car off for a few. Drive again and turn the heat up full blast just incase the engine was going to over heat. Notice the squeak from the tensioner is consistent and much more rapid. I look at the rotation gage and its at 4.5-5 rpm and im only driving 55 mph. Its usually down at about 2.5.

Why does my car hate me?
