Default So now i REALLY need a car!

My mom's Hyundai (aka my temporary car)....is dead for now[/align][/align]Well its a really solid reliable car but...some dumbass (..i think my dad) pulled the radiator resevoir plug out and left it and shut the hood...(he was changeing the oil the other day) and of course how am i supposed to know this...so i drive it...then i see that the engine temp is WAY to high....so i pull over, shut er down and call my dad. So basically antifreeze is all over the motor but not in the radiator . He claims it wasnt him but he was the only one under the hood. Who knows. So now i am without a car and pissed...and it wasn;t even my fault. [/align]
