Well i was driving for about 20 mins until i stopped at the gas station to get gas. Then as i was going to start my car up it didnt start and all the dash lights were really dim. So i pushed started it since its a 5speed. I thought ok maybe the battery was just dead, but 15 mins later i turned the car off again and it didnt start had to push start it again. All the dash lights are dim when i turn the key and it wont start? Any help is appreciated thanks.

Jump start the car. Then remove the battery cable. If you car still runs, your alternator is fine, if it dies, you need an alternator and a battery re-charge.
