Default Anything unique about your LS4 car?

I discovered that my '08 Super was a late build car by looking at the door jamb sticker. The date of manufacture was 6/08. I thought cool, my birthday is in June.

Now here's where it gets weird. I did a vin search on compnine.com to see production numbers and colors produced, etc. and staring at me at the top on the heading is the date 6/17/08.....my exact birthday.

Haha that's pretty interesting, I guess it was your destiny to be the owner of that exact Super!

Nothing really unique about my Monte but I did the VIN search at compnine.com and there are only 3 Monte SS' that match my exact options list and 5 with at least as many options. Kind of cool I guess lol

You were born in 08? har har.

Compnine.com says there are 10 GXP's with my exact options list and 32 with at least as many options but 6681 vehicles matching the year and model.

Mine has a paint stain on the trunk carpet though, so it's super rare.

Not sure if this would count, but it's heavily connected to the number 8.......
it's and '08, purchased by me during the 8th week of '08, it's got a V8, and it's the 8th car that I've owned.

I share that distinction with you. My 1999 Camaro SS was born on 11/12/98. My birthday is also November 12th, so it as pretty neat to find that out.

I also learned that I had the 1138th SS built that year, and if you're kind of a Sci-Fi geek like me, you'll know that number means something, too.

It was really tough on me to sell that car, but buying a home was more important.

"Vehicle: GRAND PRIX GXP 4 DR
Year: 2008
Build Date: 2007-05-01
"

compnine says my car has a twin! and another that is the same except it probably has DVD NAV...

"There are 1 2008 GRAND PRIX GXP 4 DR vehicles (0.021%) matching your exact options list. There are 1 (0.021%) with at least as many options. "

I think it's pretty cool that a 3 year old is driving and got that kind of financing.

Mine has a super duper, one of a kind crease/dent that is on the hood. It is very small, but appears to be from having only one hood strut and creasing where it attaches to the hood. 1 of 1!
