Check the basics yet?
Radiator, clutch fan, hoses, water level
i had the same problem as you. i found out is was my clutch fan was routed
also does it only overheat in traffic or all the time?
i'd say anything over 3/4 is bad
depending age of engine, the gasket can blow at that, if ur lucky it can last 10 overheats. fix ur problem i reckon

what would u know, its not like your a mechanic
often an overheating engine is a SYMPTOM of a blown head gasket, not the other way around (unless there is a coolant leak).
Take the radiator cap off and see if bubbles appear. Either that or take it to a radiator place where they will put a gauge on it which will tell you what it is most likely to be.
my guage for my 4ac
gets stuck on half way
so as far as im concerned.
its always running warm
anythin over 95 degrees is dangerous in any car, most cars run at 88-92 degree op temp. in my experience a few times over 115 ur in trouble tho i drove the ae111 with no water in it from parra to cambelltown and it was fine lol, didnt like it tho

lol, mine doesnt go over 1/4 ... so in my case, its always nice and cool. yes, this also happends with constant thrashing.
as for checkin head gaskets get a tk tester, dont try and diagnose it thru bublles int he radiator often can be a false symptom, if unavailabe check for carbon or oil in the coolant or custard in ur sump or under oil cap mmmm custard. also excessive water comin out of the exhaust
