- You must say 'Shotgun' clearly and loud enough for others to hear to claim the front seat.
- Shotgun can only be called after the 'Deed' is done and you are outside, with shoes on.
- If rules are broken, like calling indoors or without shoes, privileges may be voided.
- Shotgun applies for one ride to a final destination, then must be reclaimed.
- Ancillary rules include specifying the car in multi-vehicle trips and using Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock for disputes.
- Exceptions grant automatic Shotgun to moms, significant others (if known), car owners, and tall riders, with divided privileges on long trips.
