I have been taking very short trips (about 8 miles) 4 times a day to work and back (I come home for lunch) since last spring in my 89 9KT. Two weeks ago amidst the bitter cold my head gasket went. Most days this winter the engine temp gauge wouldn't quite make it to normal position by the time I got to work. I do TRY not to use the turbo boost at all on the way to work, but I have to hit speeds of about 45-55 within a half mile from home. The car has 170K, only 15 of which are mine and I'm not sure of how the last owner treated it, but that's what happened. I'm sorry to hear what happened to you KS, good luck.
