One Man Finds a Clever (and Hilarious) Way Around High Gas Prices

One man has found a clever (and hilarious) way around high gas prices. Despite the ever-increasing prices at the pump, he’s doing what he can to keep as much money in his wallet. Watch the short clip to see what this man has done to help lessen the pain he feels whenever he fills up at the pump.

Prices for this, that and everything in between are going up, up and up some more. Given the constant and steady increase in prices, a trip to the grocery store is one of the most depressing things you can do. Buying groceries takes an ever-growing chunk out of our wallets, and sadly, there doesn’t appear to be a change coming anytime soon.

But before you can even get to the grocery store to pay those rapidly ballooning prices for food, you’ll no doubt encounter another growing expense: gas. Gas, like everything else, has gone up considerably in price. However, one man has come up with a unique, but very unconventional method to get around having to shell out a ton of cash to move about town.

A clip posted on YouTube shows how Mali Hightower, a handyman in Georgia, has put his knowledge and skills to good use. He put a fully functional two-gallon, one-piston engine in a pink Barbie Dream camper and uses it to get around town.

“I am inside my infamous Barbie camper, the Barbie jeep,” he said. “I’ve always kind of just had a niche for building go-carts and little things, and once I started seeing how gas prices were and things like that, I was like, ‘You know what? I’m going to start making little mini cars.’ And this is just one of them that I kept as my personal creation.”

Seeing a vehicle like that on the road would be a shock, for sure. But when the price of everything goes up considerably, as has been the case, people will get creative and do what they have to do.

Proverbs 13:11 “Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased.”
