Losing your license usually means one thing: being left on foot. But this student found a pretty unusual way to deal with it… and ended up drawing attention across the entire campus.
Tara Monroe, 20, lost her license after being stopped for driving under the influence of alcohol. As part of the lesson, her dad also took away her car, leaving her with very few options to get around.
But instead of giving up or switching to a bicycle, she decided to look for an alternative online. That’s how she found and bought a used Barbie Jeep, which she started using to go to classes at Texas State University.
Obviously, it wasn’t the fastest option, nor the most comfortable, and definitely not the most discreet. Even so, it did the job: it got her from one place to another… and at the same time, grabbed everyone’s attention.
In the end, what started as a consequence turned into a pretty creative solution. Not ideal, clearly, but enough to avoid being stranded on campus. And well, it’s hard to go unnoticed like that
