My Used Jeep Memories
My elementary years were spent in a rustic barrio in the highlands of a mountainous province in the Philippines. It wasn't that far away but due to road conditions back then, a trip to the nearest city would take about 6 hours and my hometown was 8 hours away.
Grandpa was a former city boy who loved and embraced rural living when he got older. He would take us down on a long ride back to our hometown to visit relatives about once every month. When we arrive in the city during those days, my eyes would always turn green with envy when i see people in brand new cars with rolled up windows and air conditioning. I would always envision myself arriving one day into my hometown in an air conditioned automobile away from the heat and dust.
It is astonishing to me then when i see people approach my grandpa and rave to him about our awesome ride; how easy and quick is it for us to get to our hometown from where we came from. I would hear them say they would trade anything that they own just to have a jeep like my grandpa's. Are they for real? They have brand new cars and ours was a pre-owned piece of metal.
That old jeep was bought second hand by my grandfather. He had it repainted a deep brown first and foremost to give it a new look. The jeep didn't have comfortable front seats originally so grandpa found this front seats from an old car and had it reupholstered.
The trips we had with that jeep were really long ones. Grandpa always got gasoline rations from his company, and sometimes would receive gifts in the form of gasoline rations from some uncles. He had that kind of effect on people. A lot of guys always wanted to please him and make him happy. The original gasoline tank that didn't hold so much just wouldn't do so he installed this tank from an old truck. It ate up all of the front row area under the seats.
He also had leather roofings installed on the jeep. He connected a miniature electric fan, and even brought along his tiny portable set to be attached to our ride. I have to admit that despite me wanting a new car so much, looking back, we did have a wonderful jeep.
The jeep stayed with us since I was in the third grade. When I was leaving for the capital to attend college, grandpa took me to the airport in the jeep. By then the jeep had served us for a decade already. When I cam home after graduation, my grandpa was too old to make the trip already. The jeep was still serving him at the time though.
It might have been a used jeep when we got it, but it gave our family service that eclipsed all other vehicles that we ever had. It has exceeded all expectations when it came to performance, and the memories we shared with that old timer is far more cherished than any other car we had.
Truly, used cars if loved and cared for can prove to be of greater value than new ones. Ours was by far the most precious ride of all. - 21393
