Going to extremes 'cause the gas is too high? Maybe you're not high enough...

 
A Georgia handyman's answer to soaring gas prices is turning heads everywhere he goes - because it involves driving a child-sized Barbie camper. Mali Hightower, 30, says he built the bizarre homemade vehicle after getting fed up with paying nearly $90 to fill up his aging Mercedes-Benz convertible.
So he pulled a discarded pink Power Wheels Barbie Dream Camper out of the trash, fitted it with a two-gallon engine from an old power washer, and turned it into a mini gas-saving commuter car.
Now, I'm sure any cop'd tell ya it ain't exactly street legal, but I bet he got a lot of likes or whatever on TikTok or Instagram. 'A' for effort, buddy...

  1. How is this any less street legal than a bicycle? Rules, rules, rules

  2. And if not for INSANE government regulations that plague the automobile industry, drive up costs to EVERYONE, impose insane "features" on EVERY VEHICLE (like backup cameras, etc.) there would be a HUGE variety of vehicles available to everyone, meeting needs from hauling to maximum gas mileage. GOVERNMENT IS THE ENEMY OF FREEDOM.
