possible blown headgasket

on my way to school this morning, my car was idling really rough, there was a little white smoke comming out of my exhaust, and if i backed off of the throttle the car would die. unfortunately that sounds like a blown head gasket. and it isn't cheap for an rb25. anyone have any advise??? please..

the best way i know of... wait for the car to be completely cool, remove the radiator cap and start the car. Watch, or have someone watch the fluid, if bubbles come up consistenly, then yes its blown...

my moms aroura just blew its headgasket, grease monkeys charge a **** load to install a new one. btw my friend took his steering wheel out of his old car so he could shoot him self up into the air with the air bag, when he hooked it up to the battery all that shot out was crushed pop cans. When the grease monkeys replaced they didnt even put in a new airbag. He is gonna try and sue them!...
