So...

Last night I was leaving the gym and i turned my car on. the normal VROOM from the exhaust came out and i proceeded to drive out the parking lot. When i was going around the turn before i got on the road i noticed that the avc was off so i pressed the button to turn it back on but in the process of that i noticed that it also said SLIP on my dash... it wasn't raining and i obviously wasn't slipping. OH BTW i couldn't get above 2k rpms no matter what gear i was in even if i was flooring it... My engine wasn't over heating, sounding weird or leaking anything. i got it towed to the infiniti dealership and i cried while holding my panda bears last night because my baby wasn't in my garage. WTH is wrong with my baby

It sounds like it went into limp mode. You can usually fix that by turning the car off and then back on - if it was just a glitch. It has happened to me a couple of times over the last 6 years that I have had my 03. If you have a real problem, it will go back into limp mode right after you start it. No need to tow though, limp mode is there to protect the engine while you take it to the dealer.
