Default Coolant/oil pressure/smoking like a **** issue! Help!

So my 66 mustang is currently in the shop getting a stereo put in it and since it was going to take a couple weeks the audio shop let me use their volvo. Its a 2002 station wagon..... well when i initially got it, the check engine light was on, but i didnt think much of it. since then, it has said coolant issues as well as no oil pressure, stop safely. and NOW It runs for about 5 miles, then starts smoking like a forrest fire. I pull over, add more water to it wait at leaset 30 minutes and repeat... I just need to get this car back to the audio place (roughly 50 miles)..... what are my options
;/ thank you ahead of time..... I am completely car retarded.

I'd have the shop call a tow truck and get a ride with the car or have them come pick you up.

Yeah, I think you want to step away from this situation entirely.
