after my low temp t-stat was installed it took much longer for the needle to hit the 12 o'clock position. Sometimes I'll drive for 30 minutes and it's still barely past 180

Lately when its warm out I run the AC even with the top down and just close the vents, not full blast but enough so I can hear the fans.

To the OP, if you're still on the original water pump. Get a a new one. That should be changed out every 5 years or so regardless of mileage according to our resident engine experts. get in the habit of checking the coolant level until you get the new WP and make sure to install the latest version of the coolant cap. If your cap is a decade old its probably not holding enough pressure. And if you have a leaf blower or see one of those hose type blow dryers at the coin-operated car washes try blowing out any leaves from the intakes in the bumper vents.
