Do you think your radiator's clogged? When you run the car in park with the radiator cap off, can you see the water readily flowing through it (if so, then water pump is probably okay and so is radiator)?
Is the coolant in the radiator clear and colorless or green (both are good). IF it is not, but it is a rust color (orangish) or not CLEAR, then you have rust and other crap in your radiator and it is screwed. Get another.
Let's assume you have enough antifreeze, enough water, and your thermo is fine.
Next time the temp gauge reads 210 degrees, pull over and shut off car. You WILL either hear the coolant BOILING or see it overflowing into reservoir or somewhere. If temp gauge reads 210 and you hear NO boiling, then you are MOST LIKELY NOT overheating. IF this happens, I strongly suggest changing your temp SENDING UNIT. If that doesn't work you may have a screwed radiator.
