Check your coolant cap in the trunk for a leak. Make sure you have the new style cap. (search it)

Again, congrats!
Thanks! I'll work on the coolant level tomorrow. As for the stumbling, I'll start checking out the plugs and coil packs, and clean the MAF. And charge or replace the battery. It was unable to even turn over shortly after the video without a jump.
