Awful News

Awful news boys,

I went over a road and cracked a radiator- I hope that is the least damage. Some son of a ******************** tried to merge into my lane on a dark part of SH 360. I swerved to avoid him. Got out of the car and to inspect the damage and noticed coolant pouring out where the passenger side radiator is. Drove two miles until I could push my car safely home.

46*F outside
Temperature gauge got to 195ish
Drove two miles without any coolant, 3 minutes of engine running.
Didn't notice any smoke
Coolant gauge intermittently flashed- low coolant levels indicator.

What do you guys think? I feel this incident of driving with no coolant will not be catastrophic, but I want to hear what you guys have to say.
