i was driving along and i noticed my temp gauge was going up, i thought it went up in temp cause i knew i have a short, and the temp gauge would go up when i push the cigarette lighter in and would drop as soon soon as it was relaesed. well thats how it started and soon i realised that the temp gauge was now telling me i had a full tank of gas i was scared, cause its not supposed to be that high. i stopped, turned off the car. i popped the hood, and to my dismay, i notice smoke/steam coming from below the distributor ( i thought i fried something), but i looked closer and realised that my tranny had water/oil/antifreefe pouring over it, and then i checked my oil and noticed that it resembled choclate milk.

so today i go and get an estimate on to how much damage i did( just for the hell of it)
-blown head gasket
-cracked block
-timing belt
-water pump
-new radiator
-misc parts
-labor
for a grand total of 4326.50(give or take alot since, shit actually it will be a lot more than that, since this is only an estimate)
