cooling system especially if you were using the A/C...not to mention that the cooling air that your pulling into the radiator is already preheated by the cars in front of you while waiting in a line like that.

Thsi was in the middle of traffic and people going to the club. how embarrassing and sucky. Anyway let it cool for like a half hours and put like a half gallon of coolant and drove it a block over to the gas station. found a spot later last nite a block away my car is sitting in hollywood. Spent $60 on a taxi to get home. Going to tow it to a repair shop later. Anyway have any ideas of what could be broken and how much it costs. This sucks. I swear it was the stupid hollywood exit ramp taht killed me. Spent a good 30 waiting to turn and moving 5 ft at a time up the exit ramp. does this cause a lot of stress on the cooling system.
