After getting a DWI, this college student started driving to school in a miniature Barbie Jeep
After getting a DWI for refusing a breathalyzer at a Waka Flocka concert earlier this year, Texas college student Tara Monroe had her license suspended and her car taken away by her father.
Her new solution for transportation is a pink Barbie Jeep (meant for children) to ride around campus.
Now, people on the internet can't get enough of the "Barbie Girl," San Antonio Express-News reported earlier this week.
Here's a look at Monroe riding around on her Jeep, which she says maxes out at 5mph.

The previous owner was a six-year-old girl named Charlene, the name Monroe now uses to refer to the Jeep.

Tech Insider has reached out to Monroe for comment and we'll update if we hear back. Though, based on Monroe's Twitter account, it seems unlikely we'll be hearing from her unless Miley Cyrus intervenes.
Here's the latest from Monroe's Twitter.
No more interviews until me & my 2 managers meet @MileyCyrus
