Im about to call it quits

well, i have replaced the belts, the battery, the AST return line, another coolant line, and the thermostat. she is full on coolant and was running like a champ for about 10 minutes. now, she is a serious bitch to even think about trying to start she jsut wont catch. puller the plugs and cleaned em. no result. dont know what to do now. finally go her started but just got a whole **** load of white smoke out the tail pipe and the coolant light (of course) came on and stayed on even though she wasnt losing any and was fully topped off. then jsut sitting at idle she decided to idle at almost 2,000rpms and she started to snake her way back up to the white line before the red H and im just dont know what else. argh. any ideaS? SERIOUS ones? i am down to 3 days and 375 miles till break in period is done and the car is currently sitting at a gas station alone.

I would use the folks car or a friends car or ride with another couple or if you can scratch up the cash get a limo with some of your buddies.
