After the trip home from the Bangor airport, it became rather apparent that I couldn’t travel with the bass sax in my sedan.

This picture on the right, is of my first “bass mobile”. My mechanic and I traded cars: I gave him my Volvo sedan and he gave me his Volvo wagon. At least this way I could get my bass in and out of the car all by myself.

Because I sold this car before leaving New Brunswick, I had to replace it with another wagon when I moved back to the West Coast. (See below)

Although it appears that I have a thing for gold Volvo wagons, I assure you it is a purely coincidence. While I am a Volvo driver, and have been one for over 20 years, the gold colour of this second “bass mobile” is purely a fluke. This wagon was just the best of the best, that my friend Marie had when I went to her lot to pick one out. (I am a sucker for the 200 series.) And yes, this car is as minty as it appears.
