Default I Need Help Now!!!

ok my car started acting funny this morning on the way to work, the ABS INOP light came on i dont know if that will have anything to do with it. i noticed the voltage gage was kinda lower than normal. well taking a friend home from work my car starts acting really funny, radio completely cutting off then coming back on, speedo going whacky, and voltage VERY LOW. well i make it to an advance auto, they test the battery and alternator and they both check out. so im like well maybe the battery just got low or something, and i take him home. well i barley make it from his house to mine, starts doing all thatr crap again, so i turn off everything(lights, radio, radar detector, etc) and i make it to my house, i cut if off then try to start it again....its DEAD. i have no clue what going on since they said both the battery and alternator are good. BTW i believe this is still the stock alternator, which means it has 170k on it.
