I decided to drive gently for a little bit to get some airflow over the rad. This did the trick and at some point the temps dropped like a stone back to normal. The same thing happened backing into the garage and I even had the rad fluid vent out after I turned off the car. After she sat there for a while, the was definitely a smell of something haven been scorched, a plastic sort of smell.

So now she will be towed back to the dealer on Wednesday to find out what went wrong.

Anyone out there ever run into something like this before?
Maybe a bad/sticking thermostat???
