As car enthusiasts, we would love to have a warehouse full of our favorite hot rods. But, unless you're Jay Leno, Tim Allen, or Jerry Seinfeld, you need to scale down your wants to be in line with your economic realities. Now, scaling down could mean fewer cars, but it could also mean havingsmallercars. When we were kids, our vast automotive collections consisted of Hot Wheels, and just because we're adults, there's no reason for that to change. Admit it—adulting is a bit overrated in some respects, and a die-cast collection requires a much smaller garage.

What Is Stubby Bob?

Have you lived under the rock for long? Stubby Bob started out as a 1950 Ford F-6 two-ton dump truck. The whole deal started on episode 44 ofRoadkillwhen Finnegan bought the truck off a farm as a joke. In trueRoadkillfashion, the team chopped the wheelbase from 158 to just 104 inches. We're not sure why they did it, but when the sketchy brakes ended any ideas of a road trip, they walked away and Stubby was stored away in Georgia. The Ford was revisited again and now runs a Weiand 8-71-supercharged Gen VI 454 big-block Chevy behind the cab, and spins the back tires though a bulletproof Gearstar 4L80E transmission and an old V-drive from a boat. Let's just say that Stubby Bob is all about insane wheelies and is known to slice through asphalt with its trailer hitch. Don't act surprised—it'sRoadkill.

So, to recap, sign up for or renew your MotorTrend+ streaming subscription on or after August 12, 2023, and you can score a limited-edition Stubby Bob Hot Wheels die-cast while supplies last! Hey, we doubt your insurance would let you own the real one anyway, so this is far more likely to keep you from running afoul of the law.
