If it were me, I would add a 50-50 mix of water and green stuff and drive it to the mechanic.

Yeah, and have the green stuff flushed and replaced with regular MB coolant.
I know this coolant thing is about as hotly debated as synthetic vs. dino oil, but Stu Ritter in the Star Magazine is pretty sanguine that MB coolant should only be used in Mercedes engines. It has a neutral ph, which green coolant does not. MB coolant also has conditioners in it that keep the seals in your water pump and the hoses in your car healthy.
