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

Not me but I am the one who has to deal with it.

I was going to say that this sounds like a Whitism.

That is the nicest way I have heard it or put it myself.

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.

Well, I'm sure it was your fault... cuz you're the man. It's always the man's fault... Just accept it.
