Car troubles

So I arrived at the dogs house safely, but with one problem. It's called potholes. On my way, my car hit a big pothole, and about 5 minutes after, my engine light came on. No, but that's not all. The car kept getting slower and slower, till it came to a full stop right in front of the house. So today, I am getting my car towed halfway across town. Fortunately, my mother is going with the car for me, so I get to stay home with the adorable little puppy!
