Thanks, guys, I feel much better. It took me about 35 minutes to walk 1/4 mile, buy 3 gallons of coolant and walk back so it had cooled to 105 by the time I got back. I poured a half gallon down the hose into the engine and the rest of the gallon into the overflow basin which fools you into thinking that it is full. I turned on the car and after a couple of minutes, the temperature started to rise! So i turned off the car and spent another 10 minutes pouring another gallon into the basin waiting for it to gurgle down. This time when I started the car, the temperature started to go down to 90, which is a little high but I didn't mix coolant with water so it's less effective. I then returned the extra gallon and drove home 2 miles away, relieved. I will change the oil tommorrow. Thanks again.
