Herbie Alert

You may know it as Punch Buggy, but when we were growing up, we used to play a game called Herbie Alert.  Basically, you see a VW beetle, you yell "Herbie Alert!" and you get one point. 

We decided the stakes weren't high enough, so we made our own rules, which were as follows:
VW Bug with a spoiler = 3 points
VW Bug convertible = 2 points

Both reasonable addendums, I would say.

However, it was the 3rd rule which, in retrospect, was a bit over the top

VW Bug painted white (the true color of Herbie the love bug)= 100 points

100 points.

Not 10, not 20, not even 25, but 100 points.

I fail to understand our logic of awarding 100 points for this.  We should have just made it White VW bug=you win.  No one can catch up to 100 points.

I guess I'm not really going anywhere with this one.

meh.
