But this weekend I was with the youngest son of my ex wife when he would buy his first US car and then came the memories back when they saw his facial expressions when he positioned himself behind the wheel of the Chevy.
It all started with a long journey from Borlange to Piteå with an overnight stop in Timra, where he was to spend the night with me. We went just before 9 in the morning. fueled up my Volvo and started the trip.
– We picked up a friend outside Älandsbro that would follow as travel companions and went north.
Fine, clean, not icy roads all the way up though it was in early December so the miles was swallowed rapidly. We arrived just after noon, one of which food stop was necessary so in to Piteå city and chase a pizzeria and a pizza that you threw in. . Took out my GPS that would show us the way tothe Chevys address.
Typed in the address and began to drive after what the woman in the little box said, and as usual it was just a bunch of drivel because she was homesick apparently.
She showed us on the E4 again oriented to the south so we enlisted the help of your phone’s GPS which worked like clockwork.
We swore of crappy stuff that just causes trouble but came to the end.
When we turned into the yard it comes out a man who welcome us and show us to the garage. There it stood! An orange Chevy Caprice coupe with the knicked back window.
I have a feeling that the pulse rose sharply on the kid but for Anders and me, it was just another car to test and discuss around but the V8 started with a roar and idled fine. So on the small streets that were a little icy with summer tires we drove to test that everything was ok before we bought it
The price was discussed downwards and the deal was completed, so now would homeward journey begins and when Anders and I sat in the Volvo so we begin to talk about the feeling with his first American car and came to the conclusion that we had forgotten about i.
But one who really knows what that feeling is he was behind us and play

I almost forgot that feeling but it has gone over 30 years now since that day.
