People who know/have interest can help you.

I drove couple of miles as I couldn't stop on the interstate. I pulled the car off the road and opened the bonnet. The engine was making more noise than it usually makes, the engine compartment was shaking a lot. I looked down and the other end of the Catalytic converter joint(not the exhaust manifold side) was Red hot glowing including the bolts. The bottom part of the bumper got melted and dripped like a Tar.[/color][/font][/size] 1

Hyundai Accent has less life compared to Honda/Audi/Beemers etc..... German Car has more life as they have protective coatings where necessary.

[/quote] was there any Warning Indicator/Check engine light Flashing. Never ever run a car with Flashing check engine light ON. Fixing a Radiator can be pretty straight forward depending on the car model. You could have get away with $250 if its a Japanese/ Korean Car. US Cars should be much cheaper. Audi/BMW are very difficult.
