Since it is impossible for the engine to still be hot after 7 hours it does appear to be the sensor but that still does not explain why it ran before and not now.
I am at a loss! Please update when you know more.

I will for sure. Thanks guy. My best prediction at the moment is that it's utterly electrical, something went wrong, either a wire is frayed or a fuse blew. I don't want to say it's an engine thing because the engine was absolutely fine the entire time it would let me start it and drive off. The other reason i don't wanna say it's an engine thing is because once it comes to engine work under warranty, they start finding excuses to blame ya. (previous experience with this dealership)
I should probably point out that I was driving it quite hard the night before.. dropping the clutch, revving [not redlining].. drifting a little bit too. In the snow. Maybe driving it like that for the first time in awhile shook something loose? Should point out it was COMPLETELY fine for an entire hour of driving after I was done thrashing it - took an hour to get home. I'm still a bit convinced it was their fault, the guy who serviced my car last time had this look on his face like, "oh shit" when i came in. lol
One more thing. Sometimes when I'm parked, this burning smell comes in from the vents. Was it a disaster waiting to happen? Felt more like a transmission smell. Kind of burnt rubbery, but not burnt rubber. Dunno if anyone knows what I'm on about. its not the tires. Engine never smelled new after i crashed it and got it back from the collison center. I didn't damage the engine during the crash though, i just sideswiped a guy with my rear end. Only broke an axle and my bumper.
But I digress...
Let's see what happens on monday, since i guess a car that needs to be towed to the dealership has no priority over some other guy's tire rotation. Not that it should, but I mean, you could at least send a guy to check it out.. Whatever, man.
