Car has been overheating after about an hour of drivin for a while. Thought it might be the t-stat so I replaced that and added some more coolant. Car ran fine for the 100 mile ride to Chico. Thought i'd go out and have a little fun on a straight road so I took it to redline in 4th and noticed my temp guage shoot up so I got off it immediatly and turned engine off while I coasted down to stop. When I came to stop I immediatly noticed a change in my exhaust, sounded like it was missing. So I did the usual check for plug wires and secure connections, but nothin. Got back to friends place and pulled everything off in hopes it might be a plug, but ran a compression test and i'm not too happy with the results. 165psi for 1-4, but 125psi between 5 and 6. Im stuck 100 miles from home now with a BHG and im not sure if its drivable home. It can still drive, I can just hear it not running right on the 5th and 6th. I dont have the cash, nor AAA to have it towed back to my house. Anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?
BHG.....Need some advice

Just a thought, My buddy bought a cell phone through Verizon and they offered AAA coverage for only 2$ a month extra...It might be worth looking into..
