A (Orange) sign from God




So the other day, right, I get a FaceBook message telling me I have to let go of this Orange obsession . . . referring, of course, to the BOVB.

Blasphemy.

Of course, I never gave it serious consideration. I was at the YMCA at the time and just giggled and thought about all the different witty responses I could respond with.

But when I exited the Y this awesome 1956 Chevrolet was there to greet me. It was parked right in front of the doors. I was stunned by the timing of it and by the fact that I had never seen this beautifully-Orange vehicle at this Y the three years I have been working out there. So the only logical explanation is that this is a sign that God approves of the BOVB.

It's owner welcomed the timing as well because he is trying to sell this gorgeously-Orange classic. Anyone interested in purchasing it should call Larry at (904) 388-6558, or e-mail him at larymore@juno.com. He said it's going for $5,000 OBO.

O man I'd definitely buy it if I had a few extra Gs laying around.

Larry said he bought this Chevy in 1963 and that it's got close to 97,000 miles on it. The inside is a bit beat up. "That's my security system," Larry said. Spare parts are readily available online and it's a joy to drive.

Whoever buys it, I hope they keep it in Riverside so I can see it for years to come.
