I'm in the U.S. and I'm intrigued that you all seem to have different in-car/on-road games, though this article claims it's international. Fascinating.

Do you all also play "Punch Bug/Punch Buggy?"

Yeh, self proclaiming "international rules" is utter bullshit, they could maybe claim national but this doesnt follow the rules as I know them from the UK.

Also who wants "points" it is all about an excuse to beat on siblings or friends when younger.

I have heard of "punch buggy" because of the internet but never knew of that as a thing when I was younger. We did the same thing but for minis and there was no name for it you just shouted MINI as your fist was flying in.

We did Punch Buggy/Pinch Mini and then when the newer models came out, x2 punches/pinches for the old school models.
