Hi,
I'm hoping it's not a big problem (probably is, though) but today as I pulled into my house my car engine started acting like it was struggling to stay on. After then, I noticed that it smelled like gas inside my car. Now, when I try to turn on the car it either starts up and immediately and turns back off, or stays on but feels and sounds like it is struggling.

I'm taking it to a mechanic first thing tomorrow morning, but I'm not even sure I should drive in it since he said that kind of thing could start a fire and it could possibly turn off on me. My mechanic is about 5 minutes away.

It's a Chrysler Sebring lx cenvertible, 2000 model
 
sounds like the fuel line may have come disconnected or has busted open on you so it's starving for fuel. may want to check you air filter as well
