With wait times and costs for new Toyotas blowing out by the day, Darren & Jess have signed their newborn boy up to the Toyota 70 waiting list in the hope heâll receive the car by his 30th birthday.
From the moment they laid eyes on their beautiful baby boy they knew he was going to be the finest tradie WA had ever seen. So they couldnât risk the boy fanginâ around in an inferior work vehicle when he comes of age. Darren told The Times,
âYou could tell by the way he looked at the doctor who just snipped his cord – he was saying, are your eyes painted on ya muppet. Already judging another manâs craftsmanship. It was beautifulâ
Of course, with no finances of his own, Darren had to lend his baby the money in a loan he describes as âhighly competitiveâ. Adding,
âIf heâs anything like his old man heâs going to get buried in debt one day. So Iâm just giving him a headstart in life ay. How else is he going to get a new Toyota before heâs 50?â
We asked whether the boy might consider a second hand model or just a Triton. Darren got noticeably upset,
“Blowing your hard-earned on an overpriced new Toyota is in our WA DNA. A Triton? Why doesn’t he just become an Irish plumber rather than an Aussie sparky? Ridiculous suggestion”
Similarly, Darren & Jess have already mapped out their youngest daughterâs career path and signed her up for a Rav 4. Jess told The Times,
âSheâs going to run a nail & lashes empire so sheâs going to need a new Rav4 with a number plate along the lines of boss lady. We think thatâs the right tool she needs to succeedâ
Toyota has applauded the move saying theyâd be stoked if everyone forced their branding down their newbornâs throats at an early age. However couldnât guarantee the timeline,
âLook, just pay your money and in a few years, you might get what you paid for. You might not too. You might get a facelifted model or perhaps shit on toast. We really donât know at this stage. What we do know is weâll probably need more money from ya thoughâ
At this stage, Darren & Jess still hope the boy will get his hands on the keys by his 30th birthday but wouldnât be surprised if heâs just bought himself a nice little retirement present.
