In the decades that followed, Ove bought another two Saab 900s and then a Saab 9000.
Rune bought another Volvo 265 and then a Volvo 745, but a few years later he went back to a sedan model and acquired a Volvo 740.
Whereupon Ove bought yet one more Saab 9000 and Rune eventually went over to a Volvo 760,
after which Ove got himself a Saab 9000i and Rune part-exchanged to a Volvo 760 Turbo.
And then the day came when Ove went to the car dealer to look at the recently launched Saab 9-3,
and when he came home in the evening, Rune had bought a BMW.
“A BMW!” Ove had roared at Sonja. “How can you reason with a human being like that? How?”
And possibly it was not the entire explanation for why these two men loathed one another, Sonja used to explain.
Either you understood it or you didn’t. And if you didn’t understand, there was no point even trying to clarify the rest.
Most people never did understand, Ove often commented. But then people had no idea of loyalty these days.
The car was just “a means of transport” and the road just a complication arising between two points.
Ove is convinced this is why the roads are as bad as they are.
