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.
Did ya at lease plug some other holes that night?

Yes thank god. That girl happened to be a Barbie Doll and a total freak to boot. It was the ONLY redeeming quality of that trip.
