You say its a possibility because my radiator doesn't fill up? So lets say I just keep pouring coolant into the radiator, will it eventually start coming out of the oil dipstick? Are there ANY options here or should I should scrap this car.

Its the radiator hose, the one on top that sits right next to the air filter. I dont have a stock air filter, I have a CAI so when that hose popped off it sucked all the coolant in.

ok thats what i was going to ask next if you had WAI/CAI, if the cone is in the engine compartment level with the engine its called Warm Air Intake or Short Air Intake, Cold air intake is when the Cone is installed mostly below the engine out side the engine compartment, most people put them behind the bumper.
Anyways im very sorry to hear that happened to you, ive never heard of that happening to someone, it almost sounds like a freak accident.

I still think you are giving up too soon. The water has to go somewhere... There is no black hole in your radiator that sucks up coolant and water. Have you checked to see if the water is going into your oil? how many gallons of water have you tried to put in the car? This cooling system will take almost 3 gallons. If you put 5 gallons in and the radiator is still not full then the water is in the interior, ground, or block. Now you can see it on the ground, see it in your interior, or check the oil level in your block to find it.

But its not water, its coolant... When I let the car run it smokes out of the intake and blows white gunk all over the place... When I fill my radiator Ive used atleast 3 gallons and it doesnt fill. My oil is all white and very high on level... Ideas? Thanks for your help man.
