We call it Slug Bug too, only for many years we had to change the rules,
My brother and I still play to this way.. Though we knew where they all
were in town.. so we made a deal that we couldn't use parked ones. They
have to be moving or sitting at a light/stop sign. Now with all the new
ones out we don't have to hunt much anymore for them.. I saw 3 today
just driving around and of course he wasn't with me :(
Though it's nice to see the return of this game.. it had almost died
out, and to think.. what our kids might have missed... the ability to
slug their sibling without getting in trouble!

| Yea, I call it "slug bug" as well. But we play a different game. VW products (at least the classic ones) are worth points: 1 point: Beetle or New Beetle, Beetle Bus or Van. 2 points: Karmann Ghia 3 points: Thing, hatchback sedan/station wagon. (...)
