Car overheating? I have done this a few times on uphill climbs in old work truck
It worked, we limped home and made it. It took a little longer. One time one of the guys pretended to fall asleep and freaked this one gal out.

Here's a stop-gap solution to get to somewhere reputable. Way less than $1400

Just be sure to blame me, random Internet guy, when she's underwhelmed.

With the windows rolled down on the freeway, it helps to have ear buds that are kind of like ear plugs.
