Drive with a blown head gasket
My sister has been driving my truck.
She called and said she left it at the store with a blown head gasket. Smoke was coming out. Will it hurt to drive the car to a shop about 5 miles away? Thanks

Seeing as it already has overheated and blown out the coolant, it might seize in the drive or at the least fry the valve seals.
