If you've looked at gas prices lately and thought, "There has to be a better way," you're not alone.

One Georgia man got so frustrated with spending between $60 and $90 every time he filled up his vehicle that he decided to take matters into his own hands.

And by "take matters into his own hands," we mean he turned a Barbie Dream Camper into a real vehicle.

Yep. A pink Barbie Dream Camper.

Thirty-year-old handyman Mali Hightower figured out how to transform the toy into a functioning mini-car by installing a small two-gallon engine from a power washer.

The result?

A tiny pink ride that can reportedly hit speeds of up to 55 miles per hour.

Even more impressive, it can travel about 40 miles on a tank of gas and costs roughly three bucks to fill up.

Three dollars!

That's less than some people spend on a cup of coffee.

Mali says he's been using the mini-car to run errands around town. It even has a little storage compartment for groceries.

Imagine pulling into Meijer in a Barbie camper and getting better gas mileage than everyone else in the parking lot.

Now before you start digging through your basement looking for old Power Wheels, there is one catch.

The vehicle isn't technically street legal.

However, Mali says local police have been pretty cool about it as long as he stays off major roads.

As if the story couldn't get any better, his wife also has her own mini-car.

Hers tops out at around 40 miles per hour, which is still faster than some people drive through Michigan construction zones.

The whole thing sounds like something straight out of a movie.

But in a world where gas prices keep climbing, maybe the future isn't electric cars.

Maybe it's Barbie-powered transportation.

And honestly, if you saw one cruising through Mid-Michigan this summer, would you really be surprised?
