I did the same thing the first time I drove my ZL-1 hard. Luckily about half the membership of this board was standing there as I pulled back into the parking lot and saw the coolant starting to go.

I spent half of SCR7 cleaning my car up. What a mess.

So, I'm thinking of installing some type of warning light/buzzer on the temp gauge or temp. sender. Is there such an item? Has anyone here done that or something similar?

yes cheap to do, you need to land another probe at a value/temp you want to be notified of, in the flow of coolant and head down to Radio shack and grab a obnoxious 12V buzzer and hide it under the dash...my bro cooked the motor in one of the salt boats a few years ago, again all the gauges but no idiot buzzer,,happens to the best of us, I think the hole thing cost me 10 bucks in parts and Rob had it in and working in a couple hours.

Phil, when the woman tells you to keep your distance, it is for YOUR safety not hers. Her are some clues.
her picture

Another,
her "broom"

yet another,
Her day

and lastly what happens when you DO run into her.
OUCH!
