I don't think he's worried about the car, I think he's worried about the

His other concern, obviously, would be that if the food is too warm, it
might be spending too much time at the dangerous temps on the way down to
40-50 degrees.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
