People will do almost anything to beat the high price of gas. Take public transportation, utilize a bicycle, walk, convert a children’s toy into a mode of transport…
A 30-year-old handy man from Georgia named Mali Hightower got so sick of spending $60 to $90 to fill up his car so he decided to make “mini cars” by converting an (obviously) pink Barbie Dream Camper into an actual “street legal” vehicle.
OK “technically” it isn’t “street legal” but Mali says the local cops are cool with it, as long as he stays off major streets
He equipped it with a two-gallon, one-piston engine from a power washer. Shockingly it can reach a max of 55mph and gets 40 miles per gallon.
Mali says his juiced-up Barbie Dream Camper only costs $3 max to fill up, and he’s been using it to run errands. It even has a little compartment for groceries. Mali says it costs $3 max to fill up.

He says it's his solution to saving money at the gas pump, now that gasoline costs an average of $4.50 per gallon. #barbie #barbiecart #gas #iran #gasprices ♬ original sound - Reuters
