We have an overcast sky today because of another Typhoon and bye-bye to my brother's car which we used for more than two decades soon
This AUV service car had been an instrument for my long-time existence and is now for sale with its still good diesel engine.
It was raining a but yesterday and the nights before that and then I guess that it will get worse which I hope not because there is another Typhoon again and it causes rains where the last time gave us another pain in the butt in almost being stranded on our way home after my dialysis session because the streets had become flooded which our car cannot pass through. Our car which is actually not ours is quite worn down already with its shock absorbers and because a car has a lower clearance above ground, it doesn't stand a chance to wade into flooded streets particularly with the car which we are suing currently what belongs to my sister which was only given to us because we do not have a car of our own that we can use especially during my regular dialysis schedules.
I am in no way ready yet to buy my own car even though I do not have the supposed capacity to drive it but I basically need a car and a big one, not the ordinary cars which has a low clearance but rather those vehicles that have a higher ground clearance because of the nature of the road we have here in my tropical country which is always affected by the onset of rains that comes and goes plus the heavy traffic that makes it to wear and tear down faster. That is why Toyota has a genius way of making a car or service vehicle which is fitted to the type of road conditions that we have here in my country and we call it "AUV" which means "Asian Utility Vehicles" and is a counterpart of SUV with only basic components inside but with A/C but the suspension parts are like that of a small truck because the rear tires are sitting on leaf suspensions. These cars are really uncomfortable to ride with but they do last very good, the are fast and reliable but when I ride into them, I am on my "all fours" because for every minor bump on the road my backbone just feels it like it was an extension of the rigid leaf suspension.
I am now referring to the 1995 model of my brother's Tamaraw FX AUV which is now posted by sister-in-law in the Facebook marketplace and is now being sold by my brother. I have a lot of experience in riding that vehicle because it had served me lots of years being transported to and from my dialysis clinic just after a year of being a dialysis patient and I am already twenty-three years already in being a dialysis patient! That AUV of my brother was originally intended to be used as a Taxi with rights to function as Taxi because it has a fixed line of service from the north of the city of our province and to the next province north of our province. My father suddenly sold the rights of the Taxi as urged by one of his now former friend considering that we need the money earned from using it as a Taxi but my father doesn't considered my situation and sold the rights anyway.
He later bought a second-hand air compressor and spray nozzle with the money considering that it was my brother's money. Actually, the money used to buy that AUV was from my Aunt and my brother. So after my father had sold the rights, of course my Aunt demanded that her money should be returned back. My brother is forced to pay my Aunt because of that and the original plan of making money from running that taxi had ended abruptly because of my father's quick decision without consulting both of my Aunt and my brother who shared capital to run the taxi.

"Wow, what a fascinating story behind this AUV service car! 🚗 It's amazing how it's been a part of your life for so long, and now it's up for sale. I can relate to needing a reliable vehicle in a tropical country where weather conditions can be unpredictable 😅. The Tamaraw FX is definitely an iconic model, and it sounds like it's still got some good years left in it with its diesel engine! 💪 Do you have any plans to buy your own car soon?
