Manufacturing Date

While detailing my FR-S today, I glanced over at the door jam and noticed my manufacturing date to be in the same month as when I was born. Leads me even more to think me and this car were meant to cross paths. (Or maybe it's just the ancient Japanese thinking in me.)

Here's the question, when is your manufacturing date? And does it mean anything special to you?

May 14, 2013, and it meant that it sat at two different ports for nearly two months before I took delivery on July 10th.

Ask your dealer to log into the Toyota NVS menu and run a Main Vehicle Inquiry report VDO7110. It will show the estimated build start date, actual build start, build finish (could span two days, mine did), Japan departure date and ship name.
