RE: Problems after 3500 mile trip, please help
What you are seeing when the t-stats do that, is the car IS overheating, the coolant thats going over the ECT sensor is coming from the radiator so its cool, keeps the temp gauge normal, but there is not enough cool, coolant going into the head to keep it cool, so that coolant is boiling by time it gets the coolant resivoire, and its boiling over.
I wonder if the coolant comes out of the jug, on a cold start, or if the car has to be warm.. That will be the tell all.

or you could just pay 8$ for a new one. Also his bolt is stripped, so its not as easy for him to remove the T-stat as it should be. But i good mechanic can probably replace that and wont charge you much, Id go order a new bolt tho.. maybe even 2, so that you can replace the existing ones once their out, with the correct ones..
