I'll second what Jim described. You were driving with the starter engaged with the teeth on the flywheel. That's what happened. And that's why the instruments and gages acted funny when it did. The key was stuck at ignition and never retracted to drive on the ignition switch.
It happened to me twice on my 89 900S. The first time I didn't know what it was when I was like 3 miles from home. The symptom disappeared after I went home and restarted the car the next day and I paid no attention to it. The second time, it ruined the starter 5 miles from home and it was towed.
All you need is a starter. I bought mine from Pepboys 5 months ago for about $190.
And from now on pay attention to keeping the ignition area clean.
