Absolutely use your uncle's car to get the antifreeze, then top the rad and bottle (at least 3/4 of the bottle) and drive it just enough to warmup. I'll bet your temp drops just from those actions.
Dont worry so much about responding to every post. it may take a few days to "burp" it. Absolutely watch for any leaks. I had one in my 99 Maxima. Drove it 400 miles and it never ran hot but I kept having to add coolant and finally spotted a leak at the top of the radiator, and replaced that day.
The coolant level was just low enough for it to not leak, it only leaked when I topped it up several times. I'll be here or in the ground.

Ok well no luck on adding fluid. Drive home, if I turned off the A/C trick you told me to do, I will slowly climb to 250F. I turn the A/C on (with heater on max) and it drops down to 210F. I'm at a complete loss.
Also, yea, I cut the top hose.
P.S Yes I topped off the resevour thingy with antifreeze.
