alright, so i'm doing about 70mph (keeping up with traffic) last night on the highway. first thing i notice is my radio shuts off (never did that before). then a couple seconds later my engine completely cuts out. i coast over to the shoulder and notice smoke coming out of the engine bay. everything gets power, but engine will not crank over. oil level is normal. coolant level is normal. i've got 200,000 miles and it NEVER gave me a problem (only things i've had to change.... clutch and alternator) till now.

any ideas?
