Gas Savings Hack: A Handyman Converted a Pink Barbie Camper and It Only Requires $3 of Gas
If you feel like there’s nothing you can do about surging gas prices, here’s an idea: Do you have an old Barbie van in your garage or your basement from when you or your kids were little?
A 30-year-old man from Georgia named Mali Hightower got so sick of spending $60 to $90 to fill up his actual vehicles . . . that he decided to make “mini cars.”
He’s a handyman, and he figured out that he could covert a pink Barbie Dream Camper into an ACTUAL vehicle, by equipping it with a two-gallon, one-piston engine from a power washer.
It can even reach 55 miles per hour, and he can get 40 miles on a full tank.
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.
Technically, it isn’t street legal . . . of course . . . but Mali says the local cops are cool with it, as long as he stays off major streets.
His wife also has her own mini car, but hers only reached 40 miles per hour. (His wife’s car is a little red convertible.)
(Here’s Mali talking about it, and here’s a CBS News report. He originally made the news locally a couple weeks ago. Here’s an UNCENSORED video from someone seeing him driving around.)
