After 3.5 hours of waiting for the car to cool down, start it back up, blast down the street, shut it down, coast.....<repeat>.......involving a lot of wrong turns, and some deadends, I finally made it back to her place. She was surprisingly cool about the whole situation, I was not. lol
I stayed there overnight, filled it up with dexcool and made it home the next day. Got into my driveway then it overheated again.
