You too can join the Rude Boy White Stripes Club

 

Let's face it. Dodge Vipers are seriously cool. Not only do they have an engine so big it should be measured in cubic acres, they are faster than shit off a greased shovel. And, of course, they have white stripes. Now, I don't know if Dodge pioneered the vertical white stripe idea, but they sure did a good job of promoting it when they stuck them on a  Viper. Vipers just seem to say "Hey! You! I am so much faster than you! Hey! Ford Ka! My engine is eight times bigger than yours!" Viper seem so angry, the front of their bonnet forming a snarl, like this car has to be driven by a serious man... Or a rude boy.
   Come on rude boys, we'd all love a Viper. But what if we can't afford one? Well, we'll have to buy a big engine for our existing car. What if we can't afford one of them?
Well, we'll paint white Viper stripes on our car. So, all you need to join the Rude Boy White Stripes Club is the have a car, and get stripes painted on it. They don't have to be white, because obviously, white stripes on a white car won't be very effective. And before you show shock, painting white stripes on your car is far cheaper than you think. So, you think you are rude enough to be "down wit' da stripes posse?" First you have to prove it. How? Well, you need to do the following... You just can't tell the difference, can you?

How To Rude Up Your Mota'.

  1. You need : a car. A mate. 2 paint brushes. A roll of duck tape. A roll of masking tape. A tin of white emulsion. A tape measure. A newspaper or two. A pin. A screwdriver.
  2. Park your car outside. Measure the bonnet near the bottom, and mark the center with a bit of tape. Do the same at the top. Now put two strips of tape straight down the center of your bonnet, one four inches to the left of the center, one four inches to the right.
  3. Get two more bits of tape and put them eight inches to the left and right of the existing bits of tape. These are the bits you are going to fill with paint, so cover the rest of the car with newspaper and stuff.
  4. Take off the front and rear plates.
  5. Keeping the tape straight run the four lines all the way to the back of the car. Use the tape measure to measure every now and again, to make sure you are doing it straight. Make four all the way to the front as well. Cover the car with more tape and newspaper.
  6. Grab a brush, and paint the car. As Mr. Myagi would say, "No side-side, you go up-down, rude boy san."
  7. Before it dries, wipe and stray paint from places it's not meant to be. Now leave it for an hour to dry.
  8. Put the number plates back on. Take the masking tape and newspaper off (well, d'uh).  
  9. Use the pin to get the paint out of your windscreen washers.
  10. Done!
