The wife decided to take the mustang (had a cracked head gasket,was sitting until warmer weather) to work yesterday because her car was covered in ice and snow still...About 30 minutes after she left the house I get a phone call from a Illinois State Police Officer explaining that my car had caught on fire and was smoking inside and out and my wife was ok. 15 minutes later I get another phone call from the tow company explaining it was just a bad radiator hose. So I drop the kids off with the baby sitter and go to the Tow lot. $150 for a .8 mile tow and 3 hours of storage...what kind of crap is that? Then I pop the hood...hoses are still attached,no fire damage,car fires right up and I drove it out the gate and down the street a couple blocks to my brothers shop. Blown head gaskets are the culprit...Just picked up some Trick flow TW heads and Track Heat intake for $1500 guess they are going on sooner than spring
I shut the car down immediately, of course. The "smoke" stopped real quick after shutdown so I was wondering what was going on; then I noticed the stream of coolant running down the driveway. Basically, my car was pissing itself. 
Was such a relief knowing my car was not on fire.
