What a start to a long weekend!

Well as many of you know who are Canadian it is Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend. So I loaded up the car with all my goodies and thinking im on my way to see my fiance. It is a 2 hour drive North west of Winnipeg. So I'm raring to go. I get in the car start it up and begin to drive. I come up to a red light and notice the car over reving. Which means that the RPM's are reviving too high. Which is not normal. So I try and get a chance to pull off the road so that I'm not in anyones way on the street and now I am noticing that I don't have to even have my foot on the gas pedal and the car has a mind of it's own. Gaining speed and it like it automatic cruise. So I pull over open the hood and everything looks ok. I check the hoses and what not but instead of continuing on my journey for 2 hours I decide I should go home and check it out. The car is still gaining speed, and it's still reviving high and now it's harder to stop as the car wants to go. So I am putting strain on the brake system. I get the car home and notice as soon as I turn the engine off a little cloud of smoke popping out from the hood. I open the hood and to my surprise my rad hose blew. There is a steady squirt coming from it so needless to say I can't go no where and it won't be able to get fixed till Monday. Well I'm still heading out of town I just had to rent a car now. Hopefully nothing goes wrong with that.
