Texas State student busted for DWI rides around campus in Barbie Jeep, gets all the lols

When you lose your license to a DWI arrest and absolutely need to get around, a bicycle will probably be your best bet. And if you really want to splurge, you might opt for a vespa.

But 20-year-old Tara Monroe found a different solution to this very problem: She’s pimped out her morning commute with a pink Barbie jeep.

The Texas State student found her new hot pink ride, complete with decals and all, on Craigslist for $60, KVUE reports. The previous owner was, as you may have guessed, a little girl.

Monroe, an industrial engineering junior, reportedly had her license automatically suspended after refusing a breathalyzer while driving home from a Waka Flocka concert.

And, like all responsible used car owners do, she’s named her new wheels Charlene after the little girl who outgrew it first.

It would be easy to think this is all a joke if it weren’t for the many photos of her cruising around campus, backpack on the hood.

It’s not like people don’t have the time to pull out their phones either, the one-seater has a 12-volt battery and hits a top speed of just over eight kilometers per hour.

“This is the best way I could have gotten my 15 minutes of fame,” Monroe told MySanAntonio.com. “Basically, it was the best decision I’ve made in college yet.”

“I’m just happy everyone thinks this is so hilarious,” she added.

So, you know, lesson learned. I guess.
