Water..Water..Everywhere..HELP!

It's a beautiful day today here in MD. So I decided to dust of the 968 and let it out of the garage for some fresh air. On the way to work everything was fine until I pulled into the parking lot. There was a semi-loud pop and then radiator fluid and steam were everywhere. I only live four miles from work so I was going to get a couple of gallons of water and try to limp home. Is this a bad idea or should I just call a tow truck?

After cleaning the engine I wiped all the hoses and plastic parts down with, a silicone free, rubber and vinyl conditioner. It looks brand new..

I used Prestones 50/50 pre-mix (distilled water and pf coolant).. The packaging states it's safe for all radiators including aluminum..

Honestly.... It was more more fun than I thought it would be.. And I have more confidence in the cooling systems condition.

I'll be test driving it tomorrow..
