I am home safe thanks to a friend, but I have absolutely no idea how to go about dealing with this. The car is dead as a doornail but I don't know how to handle disposing of it. Never done it before. Any advice?

So tired and frustrated. This is going to mess me up so bad.

Assuming you have relatively close options, call around. You should be able to get a tow pretty easily,, but you will want to find a mechanic first, unless you are SURE the vehicle is dead, so that you can tell the truck driver where to take it.

Else they can scrap it, (assuming it's broke) or take it to their yard for holding, which they'll charge you extortionate rent for.
