Message	Here is where you messed up: all of a sudden the rattling got really bad, I had to boost in every gear to keep the car moving even at low RPMs. Then all of a sudden BANG!! The fact that you had to give it boost to make it move should have told you something. I have no idea what that rattling sound is, but I do know that the engine shouldn't rattle and that giving it more gas isn't going to fix it. You should have stopped and got it towed right there. But in the end, you still had to get it towed and now your engine is dead.
