The car of choice for Donut's debut product—which got official licensing from the car's manufacturer—is the Acura DC2 Integra Type R. As a collection of automotive enthusiasts that create popular car videos on [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chrome-dino), Donut picked the Integra to pay homage to its storied history as a tuner car. The STOCKY collectible car is designed to strike the perfect balance between a display that makes a statement without taking up too much space. The condensed, cartoonish nature of the car offers a friendly look while adding some Donut flair. Measuring a handful of inches in length, the STOCKY collectible car fits easily on a desk or dashboard. The STOCKY collectible car can be picked up in various colorways through Donut's [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/namespace) campaign.
