    oh. dang. looks like im in the same boat =[

    my car was going from all the way hot to mid like crazy. but i was thinking- theres no way it can go from hot to mid in like 5 seconds. well the other day me and my boyfriend were sitting in traffic and one of the hoses busted. it was an easy fix, luckily it was on the end, and i cut the hose, moved it up and reclamped it jus to get me home. i refilled the coolant and it was fine for about 3 days. now its starting to overheat again. but when im in high rpms, it goes back to normal. .. still sound like a head gasket?
