Default I'm going crazy!!!!!

My vette has been down for a week with a split radiator hose. I put a flex hose in it to get it home last saturday but that thing is way too long and it is kinked. So I told myself that I wouldn't drive her until the new hoses came in (ordered all new hoses and clamps from gmpartsdirect). But they are not scheduled for delivery until wed 7/31.

I'm going crazy sitting here and not able to drive my baby :crazy: . I really think I'm doing the right thing waiting for the new hoses but I think I need some reasurance, HELP!!!!!!!!!

Couldnt you trim a bit off of each end of the flex hose to get rid of the kink from it being too long?
