By now you'd have to be a hermit not to know that the economy sucks these days. Layoffs and unemployment are at record levels, the banks are in trouble, foreclosures rising, stocks a'tumblin . . . bla bla bla, right?
So it shouldn't surprise anyone that pawn shops are booming thanks to all this turmoil. Folks looking for that extra cash are pawning everything from lawn mowers and CDs to mink coats and wedding rings.
But Orange vehicles?? Are things really that bad??
I am sad to report that indeed it seems to be so. Check out the above photos. The little Orange ATV I photographed in January or February in front a pawn shop on University Boulevard in Jacksonville. Cute and decently Orange, for sure.
Times-Union photographer and UF fan Bruce Lipsky e-mailed the truck to me on Sunday. "First or second year Chevy Blazer K/5 in front of a pawn shop on Blanding Blvd. Saturday," he said. Definitely True Orange.
It's not clear the Chevy was for sale, but that doesn't keep me from fantasizing about owning it.
