There's a secret code hidden on every Maverick's tail — and it might be a developer's birthday.

The tail boom of the GTA IV Maverick bears the stencil 'DJO.250676', which appears to be a developer Easter egg referencing someone named DJO with the date June 25, 1976 — likely a Rockstar North staff member's initials and birthdate.
