max almost became a hugh useless paper weight

so yesterday I'm returning home from visiting one of my 'ol heads around 8:30pm and waiting at a light, I notice that the temp gauge just passed H (hot) I'm like what the F!...see smoke pouring out from under the hood...shut the car off instantly! I'm in the middle lane of a somewhat busy road...got the flashers on got out and looking under the hood...I can hear a leak but can't find it...finally as the bastard cools down...I see that one of the hoses that passes coolant to the engine (right by the distributor cap) had busted near the clamp, so thus no anti-freeze. I'm like F...just pulled the tools outta my car last night...Cop gets there helps me hold off traffic, while he proceeds to watch me push my max up the slightly inclined road into a side street (girlfriend was steering) after parking, I'm scrounging for a screw driver but can't find one...then wholla, the nissan jack/center cap puller thing, has a screw driver like end...so I use that to remove and fix the hose temporarily, then fill the car with H20, gonna replace it later today...

that is my story...thanx for reading...oh and the cop says to me start the car and drive it over there...I'm like...um...will you buy me a new engine...cause its running really hot!...that is why I pushed.
