I would avoid driving it.

If you must drive it, have a gallon of at least distilled water in the back.
Check the reservoir level after every trip. Have the heater set on high, and
run the blower full speed.

If the temperature gage climbs high, stop the car.

The risk you are running is not having proper cooling of the engine, the
outcome of which can be a warped cylinder head and damage that will cost in
the thousands to repair.
