Temps inside an enclosed vehicle can easily exceed 185 degrees. For the most part, you should be fine though.

Once it starts getting really hot here in Sacramento, i usually bring it in to work with me during the day. No need to leave it in an oven.

Easily exceed 185 degrees? By how much? I think you're on crack, otherwise drinks left unattended in a car would boil by themselves on a regular basis in places like Texas or Arizona.

I think they're regularly around 140-150, but not far above that.

Ok, maybe I stretched it a bit. But I'm going to go as high as 170. Doesn't water boil at 212?
