Head gasket gone!!!

Well guys I finally blew my head gasket. 3 TIMES my car had to be towed in a week! The first time was because my ignition coil went bad and wouldnt start. Second because I was driving around and smoke was ALLLLLLLLLL over the place and the temperature guage went PASSED the H within 15 seconds. turned out to be the hose and it was replaced. Now 3 days ago I was driving one night and POOF!!! all this green greasy shit COVERED my windshield and had no idea what it was until my engine started dying. I opened my hood and the radiator was EMPTY. I went to a gas station, filled it up with water, tried starting the car, and it shot the water in EVERY direction from the radiator. After a while the car wouldnt start anymore and lost all compression

So it turns out that my head gasket was going so compressed air was getting into my radiator which caused my hose to rupture the first time, the second time the hose was NEW and STRONG so the next thing to explode was my radiator. I should be getting my car today now... 3 day job plus the mechanic sent out my head to be resurfaced and shaved. engine has 95k miles on it. My bill is going to be around $500 which includes EVERYTHING. New radiator, labor, gasket, resurfacing, etc. Ohh well all that FLOORING I guess gave me the results. Ohh well I will treat this car with love from now on. in like a month I'm going to buy a port and polished VTEC SOHC head. Im not looking into spending much into VTEC so...

The scariest thing is to have a radiator explode and LITTERALY SPEW Geasy anti-freeze ALL over your windshield. I still have NO idea how in the hell it did that! Where and HOW did it get on my windshield?

Consider yourself lucky, I know of many mechanics that would charge WELL OVER $500 bucks for that.
