jeremym is on a distinguished road
Just went and picked it up. For the entire 45 minute highway run, it was just above the blue. We get into town which is total of about 2 miles from the highway to parking garage and it started warming up. I was kind of hitting the manhole covers to purposely give it a few jolts to see if it would spring back to life. We get to the spot in the garage and the needle is at 12 o clock. I figured, maybe it's just stuck shut now. I drove around the garage in 1st gear for about 3 minutes and the needle never moved. I was at about 2-3k RPM the entire time.

Can I say the thermo is now unstuck? Not sure. Maybe it's just temporary. I think maybe the reason it got stuck in the first place is since my coolant was low for a few weeks, it may have gunked up. Now that there is fluid hitting it, since I added the water yesterday, it may have freed up.

Any insight on this?
