Sorry. Irv is pre-Jalop by about, three and a half decades. He’s bigger than Jalop. 

They don’t make anything as pretty as the 1800, no, but, they do at least build some of the best looking sedans and wagons on sale today.

No, because if you knew Irv, you’d know he didn’t want ANYONE else driving that car. He’s the driver, forever and always. It needs to be retired out of respect. Nobody should be driving that car except Irv. 

Hopefully his precious P1800 is waiting for him on the other side. That would be a tragedy for the ages separating those two.

Can we start a write-in campaign to enshrine Irv as a hugely impactful part of Volvo history and get his car placed into a permanent place in Volvo museums (pending approval from the estate).

Godspeed, Irv.

Spoilage starts as soon as the animal dies (its immune system being what keeps the bad stuff at bay while it’s alive).

As someone who is a veteran Canadian winter driver, that statement is ridiculous. Borderline dangerous. You cannot have enough control or grip in snow, ice, slushy cold conditions. Winter tires are designed for that, all seasons are not. I have gone up onramps in my winters in my FWD Saab just fine where AWD CRVs with…

Never change $kay.

If you field dress it (Get the innards out) and into a refer within a few hours should be no problem.

Well, yes, in 99.99% of cases a kill you make will be perfectly fine after a several hours (hell, it can take that long just to prepare a carcass for skinning).

Well I am assuming you cook the deer first.

Not sure which way you’re running with this, but yes, food can be prepared badly and possibly make you sick. But you’re much more likely to get sick if you eat out of a dumpster or not at all.

yep, it is safe, i believe. (I grew up in West Virginia, deer season was big there, like close down the schools for the first day of hunting big.) I believe if you can clean and get the meat in a freezer within 8 hours, it can last quite a long while. I’m not a hunter, so i could be wrong, but there were a lot of deer…

Yes, as long as it was properly field-dressed (i.e. removing the guts — that’s the number one source of bacteria, after all) and you aren’t dilly-dallying too long with it.

It is safe, so long as you gut the animal immediately. It takes time for bacteria to start to grow.  And fortunately during hunting season it’s cold enough outside to prevent rapid bacteria growth.

You should always drive it home first and then kill it.

When prepared right? Absolutely. Hell, it’s entirely plausible that you could eat the raw meat and not get sick.
