Well, this looks to be it. Engine overheated and seized up while out on a Sunday drive. Steam was pouring from under the intake manifold, so I'm thinking the head gasket or LIM gasket. It was also rainy outside, so I could see the coolant mixing with the water on the road. I'm sitting on the side of the road waiting for the tow truck now, getting it towed to the local shop. I'll update the thread when I can

Turns out everything might be ok! The following is my reply, verbatim, from the thread I posted, because I'm too lazy otherwise:

Maybe I was just paranoid after all. Just got back from the shop, and it seems they resolved the issue. Mind you, I'm holding my breath on this one, granted my past history with this car. It seems the fault point was a plastic coolant elbow going to the intake manifold. He told me they tore apart the engine to check for internal damage, and they let it run for a while to make sure it was good (This was evidenced by me seeing the heat and A/C ***** cranked way up, and the inside of the car feeling like a pressure cooker). I'll still wait it out, as the car died out while I was driving, not standing still
