Unhappy Engine overheated, steering locked up and I had no brakes

It overheated yesterday on the interstate.. I don't think I noticed it right away until I stopped at a stop light and saw steam/smoke.

I turned it off and let it cool for a bit, but since I was only about a mile or two from my mechanic's shop, I tried to get it there. Didn't make it. I lost the ability to steer and the brakes locked up on me, and I think the engine shut off.

Had to have it towed the rest of the way. Waiting to hear back from them now.

How ****ed am I?
