I wouldn't run without one. Cars can still o/heat without a thermostat. and in the colder times the engine will never warm up properly. Which can lead to excess wear and poor running.

THATS too high piss off the thermostat, they are unreliable, and they restrict your waterflow. The only good thing about them is they allow the car to heat up quicker, and regulate temperature properly "when they work". If its a work pig then it may be best to use one, but if its just a thrasher, piss it off. New thermostats stuff up pretty regularly too. Buy a new one.
