Twenty-year-old Tara Monroe is a junior at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. She got a DUI in March and her license was suspended. But she needed a fast way to get around campus, and she says: “riding a bike sucks.”
So, she bought a pink Barbie toy jeep off Craigslist. It runs on a 12-volt battery and maxes out at five miles per hour. It also looks ridiculous when an adult is driving it.
She’s been spotted in it all over the campus, which has led to tons of people posting pictures of her on social media. She says: “This is the best way I could’ve gotten my 15 minutes of fame.”
