What are the odds...

I went to Cabela's today to look around.
In the back parking lot I see a 2-door Grand Prix "Special Edition". As I walked to my car in the front parking lot, I see a 4-door Grand Prix "Special Edition".
2 "Special Edition" GP's in the same parking lot at the same time.
What are the odds of that ever happening again?

Well, This gives you another reason to go back to Cabela's.

Haha, that reminds me of when I went out for pizza last week, and the only two other cars in the parking lot were a white GP SE and a silver GTP.

I was at Home Depot last weekend and parked next to my car's identical twin.
GTP, same color, torque stars, etc. Even had tinted windows.
The only reason I could tell which was mine was the sticker in my rear window.

I like parking next to other grand prixs... I wish I had some kind of flyer for the site I could put under their wipers or something.
The other day I was at a car wash and I saw a SE that looked pretty decent. Same color as mine (Galaxy Silver Metallic), he also had tinted windows, and dual exhaust with glass packs. Man that thing was loud!! oh yeah, turned out he had the same cd player as me too! (Eclipse)
Talked with the guy for a little bit and told him to check out the site. I hope he does!

I've only seen one "special edition" gp here, with the raised spoiler, lucky you Austin. GP's are getting more and more popular out here with young drivers. I see quite a few cruisin around these days with mods, tint, blackouts, etc...
