Am I missing something here? August 2008 was identical to this August, as well as many many more Augusts in my lifetime...

On a variation of the same kind of nonsense, the World has also "ended" about 10 times so far just in my lifetime, the most recent being 2012.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
