The Car Game

We have a game we like to play as a family called "The Car Game". Here is how you play, as you are driving around, if you see a particular type of car, call it out and you are give the appropriate number of points. Points are as follows:

PT Cruiser - 1 Point
VW Bug (old or new) - 1 Point
Mini Cooper - 5 Points
Smart Car - 5 Points (recently added)
Delorean - 50 Points

If you see more then one of the same car, you can call a double or even a triple and the points are increased exponentially. Car lots do not count.

The trifecta is accomplished by calling and being able to sell all 3 cars (PT, VW, Mini) all at the same time. This is a bonus 25 points.

So if you ever have one of our family members in your car and hear someone call out "PT Cruiser", then you know what is going on.

Brit seems to be the winner most of the time. He is always scanning for cars when we are driving around. Btw the winner for the days gets nothing but a cup of satisfaction.

Why am I mentioning this now? Well yesterday, I called a Delorean.

You are the luckiest son of a gun! I guess it takes an eye that actually lived through the Delorean era to pick one one out.

We saw a Delorean on our trip! I'm in the game. I saw a smart car too, oh wait, it was just a guy on a bike.

Delorian going down the street = cool
Delorian coming out of McDonald's drive through = not cool
