Radiator - Toyota Yaris Forums

I hit a raccoon early this morning on the highway. I didn't stop, but shortly after, started getting temp. light and check engine light. Took it easy because I was so close to home. Daylight came and I checked it out... enormous hole in the radiator.

The question is... can I limp a few more miles to a repair shop, staying at 25 mph or less? Or should I have it towed? I know it is a risk... what would you do?

It's a 2009, and the hole was punched by the engine... there is a piece that sticks forward from the engine, which hit when the radiator got pushed back.
