DUH!!!

Your cooling system looks like that because whoever has owned your car, including yourself, has NOT maintained the cooling system WHATSOEVER. It was probably filled with only water, no coolant. It's been run low on water regularly. Basically your cooling system is fucked up and needs COMPLETE maintenance. Thermostat, radiator, cap, flush system, check hoses and replace as necessary, etc... It is COMPLETELY possible that your headgasket is blown as well. With as shitty as it looks I would be concerned.

Did you really need to go ham on him for this lol
