It's pretty much been that way since I bought the car. A few weeks after I bought it, I had the top radiator hose blow up on me...what a mess. At that time I replaced both the radiator hoses because the bottom one was looking iffy too. I changed out all the coolant then, but that was like 2 1/2 years ago, so it probably wouldn't hurt to do it again; I'll look into changing the thermostat when (IF) I ever get around to doing the heater core. I wonder if it is maybe just a bad temp sensor...it has unexplainably stumbled and died on me twice, which I figured was a bad ground connection, but from what I've heard the temp sensor can cause that kinda thing to happen too.
