Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It's Haystack.

Speaker A:

And of course, gas prices have gotten kind of ridiculous.

Speaker A:

And one guy in Georgia took one look at his $90 fill up for his Mercedes and said, you know what?

Speaker A:

I'm going to switch to Barbie.

Speaker A:

No.

Speaker A:

Not getting a hybrid.

Speaker A:

Not public transportation.

Speaker A:

A Barbie Mobile.

Speaker A:

This 30 year old contractor found a discarded Barbie Dream Camper on the side of the road and thought, finally my financial windfall has arrived.

Speaker A:

You know, that's the difference between truly creative people and the rest of us.

Speaker A:

I see a giant pink toy on the side of the road and I think litter.

Speaker A:

And he sees it and he thinks transportation.

Speaker A:

And he mounted it on a Go Kart frame, added brakes, lights, a horn and a sound system.

Speaker A:

I mean, this guy gave that old Barbie camper an upgrade package and now it goes 55 miles an hour.

Speaker A:

50.

Speaker A:

It'll do.

Speaker A:

55.

Speaker A:

Now, I don't know what's scarier.

Speaker A:

Seeing a Barbie Van doing 55 on the highway or realizing that it's passing your car.

Speaker A:

Can you imagine getting in an incident and explaining it to your insurance company?

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

Can you describe the vehicle involved in the accident?

Speaker A:

It was Barbie.

Speaker A:

Was the driver okay?

Speaker A:

Well, he looked embarrassed, but he was incredibly fuel efficient.

Speaker A:

It costs $3 to fill up the Barbie van.

Speaker A:

Go Kart.

Speaker A:

The Barbie camper.

Speaker A:

Go kart.

Speaker A:

$3.

Speaker A:

Suddenly, every dad in America is out back measuring old power wheels.

Speaker A:

Honey, don't throw away the kids toys.

Speaker A:

Daddy's trying to beat opec.

Speaker A:

People, of course, are questioning whether it's street legal.

Speaker A:

It's probably not.

Speaker A:

But if I saw a grown man folded up in a hot pink Barbie camper at a stoplight, legality would not really be my first question.

Speaker A:

My first question would be, why is this guy having more fun than all the rest of us?

Speaker A:

That's the real story.

Speaker A:

Everyone else miserable at the gas pump.

Speaker A:

This guy cruising around in a Barbie Dream Camper with a sound system.

Speaker A:

We're paying 90 bucks to drive back and forth to work, and he's living in what's essentially a live action toy commercial while saving money.

Speaker A:

I love it.

Speaker A:

I guess we need to make Ken the Secretary of transportation, don't we?
