Pay attention to it. 
When it is in the red DO NOT keep driving your vehicle.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

They are often called Dummy lights/gauges but from my experience with them they are moreless "delayed". So if its red, youve been hot for a while now and def should drive no further.

When smoke billows out from it, no matter what color, it's time to pull over unless you are doing skywriting.

I'm guessing you drove with no water in your engine (or a broken water pump), over-heated, warped the head?  

I had a girlfriend who ran out of gas one time.  A cop stopped to help her and said "you know, 'E' doesn't stand for 'enough'".  I'm guessing you found out that "H" doesn't stand for "hell yeah, keep on going".

A new radiator is only a few hundred bucks. A new engine.....

Get it running. Fill it full of slick 50 and trade the thing as fast as possible.

It is mandatory that you tell the whole story......

Went to PC beach on spring break. Wife has 2000 Chevy conversion van low-top that she will not get rid of. So we are going to lunch about to cross the bridge to the Treasure ship, van dies. Fuel pump gives up the ghost. $500. Not horrible. Usually about $600. Get it back the next morning. Park it and notice a nice little stream of fluid shooting from the front. Radiator. $300. Get back home and the AC is not blowing from 3 vents. Screwed up expansion orifice. $300.

I guess now we don't need to trade. I hope she still enjoys it. It will be a while before we trade.

Radiator was fairly cheap compared to a new 5.7 liter engine.  

I was looking forward to going fishing with the kids in a small boat I had been saving for. I guess its back to the dynamite.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
