Intermittent problems like the engine stopping only when it is hot are just part of owning any car. Plus, intermittent problems are the most difficult to diagnose and fix.

Your problem may very well have been a defective ignition coil. Just drive the car close to home and carry your cell phone. After a couple of extended rides with no problems, you will have to agree that Rob did fix the problem.

Many of the posts here are suggestions on what MIGHT be the cause. There are hundreds of possibilities. But you trust Rob, and it did not die on your first extended drive, so don't worry. A good mechanic is worth every penny you pay him.

Just go out and have fun. And if the problem reoccurs, just call one of your friends. You have many!
