I teach high school and I have noticed that many students will get racing stripes on their cars, and it will usually be something like a Buick or car that is not associated with being fast, that they add it to and it just looks silly. I am guessing that common sense avoids them or they are simply looking to be accepted into a particular clique. To be honest I really see this as just a fad that I think will someday leave, but then again with people having access to cheaper sports cars nowadays I will not be surprised if it continues for a long long time.Īpril 4, - To be totally honest I am not entirely sure why someone would want to do something like that. I know the guy that bought it, wanted it for the stripes and the fact it ran simply because he thought the stripes looked neat and did not care that the truck looked ridiculous with them. After having absolutely no one interested in it for a very long time, no matter how low the price was, I took some vinyl and just added racing stripes to it and I sold it in a week for 250 dollars, despite the fact I had it down to 50 dollars without the stripes! I once had a truck I was trying to sell that was a real beat up, old clunker. I guess it is a matter of what one is looking for, but I really think that the matter of racing stripes is more than just a seeking of status, it can also be something that just came with the care in order to get someone to buy it and the owner does not really care about it.Īpril 5, - Well to be totally and completely honest, I think that for the most part it is just a way people try too look cool or as you said, and I emphasize in rare cases, to be done as a joke.
I will admit if I added racing stripes to my car it would look ridiculous, but I really would not care if I had them because it would run the same way and that is what I am concerned about in a car. That is why I feel like some people do not judge the car they buy with the racing stripes simply because they are thinking of the car itself and how it runs and not really what it looks like. I feel like a car's paint job is like a house, if you do not like it you can change it, or you can live with what color it is. April 6, - I agree with the fact it will last for awhile and to be honest i do not have much of a problem with it, simply because I do not think that it is a big deal in the first place and is just another paint job on a car.
