When is your car's birthday?
TIS has a feature to show detailed information about your car. It's called a VIN inquiry, and one of the cool things it tells you is your car's actual birthday.
My F was born on July 26th, 2008.
My Supra was born May 28th, 1993 (we will be going out for a celebratory adult beverage when it turns 21 next month!)
You can also see all the factory installed options in detail for your particular car. Pretty cool stuff!

Have to have a subscription to TIS. If you're really desperate and don't want to spend the money, PM me your VIN and I'll look it up for you. I've had an annual subscription since '06. With three Toyotas in the garage, it's easy to justify.

It looks like mine was born in 2008 even though it's an 09.
Production date: 12/16/2008
Date of Adoption (First Use): 05/26/2009
Marked in the calendar!
Side note:
Carfax lists a shipped date to FL of 1/12/2009. Guess they weren't exactly flying off of lots?

No, definitely not. When I bought mine in December of '08, Lexus of Knoxville had four IS-Fs on the lot, one of them had been there since May. If I could have talked the wife into USB, I'd've driven to Knoxville to buy it. They were ready to make a deal!

Mine was adopted from the streets on 3/14/14.
Born sometime in '13. Still a mystery. She's gotten into trouble a couple of times already. Whatcha gonna do? Another troubled adoption.

Mine was born July 22nd, 2008.. Just before the 2009 factory month turnover
First sold as new / purchased in April 2009.. It sat in an enclosed parking garage for 8 months waiting for me.
There were 5 other 08's there too.. . All eventually sold.
