How does it overheat? Just hot on the gauge or does it actually start dumping coolant out? First thing I would do is check the radiator and AC cores for dirt/leaves and such that may be blocking airflow. Then have the system serviced. High speed heating is usually caused by a water pump not moving the coolant enough, either through blockage in the radiator or the pump itself is worn.

Once there is a short of coolant on the radiator the after driving the car for a while the temperature gauge needle starts climbing all the way up too high.

Sounds like you have a leak someplace if you are losing coolant at all. Run a pressure test of the coolant system to see if it holds pressure.
