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.

My grandpa was a city boy when he was younger but later decided to live and embrace rural life. Once a month, he would take us down to our hometown on a long ride to visit our relatives. During those days when we arrive in the city, I would be dying with envy of the people who rode automobiles with rolled up windows and air conditioning. I would be dreaming of arriving in my hometown in an air conditioned car protected from the heat and dust I hated so much back then.

You can imagine how amazed I am when people would approach my grandfather and rave how awesome our ride is. They would say they can’t believe how easy and quick it is for us to get to the city from where we came from. I could even remember then telling my grandpa that they would trade their brand new cars for my grandfather’s old and reliable jeep. Are these people serious? What they have are brand new automobiles and we have a second hand contraption.

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 the jeep makes were really long ones and my grandfather always received rations and gasoline gifts from his company. Some were gifts from uncles who were so fond of him. He always had that effect on people. A lot of them wanted to please my grandfather. The original gasoline tank just wouldn’t do so he had found a tank from a big truck and had it installed under the front seats and it occupied the whole row.

He had new leather roofings installed on the jeep. Had an electric fan and he even had his small portable TV attached to our rig. I had to admit, despite my wanting a new automobile for a ride, looking back, we did had an awesome ride.

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.

That old jeep might have been pre-owned when we got it, but it fared and served better than all the other vehicles that we had. It has by far exceeded all the others when it came to performance and the memories we had with that old timer is by far more precious than any other ride 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.
