Dub & Peter 1 (ダブとピーター1) is a four chapter manga by Akira Toriyama that takes place in the same universe as the Dragon Ball series.

Story
The story is set in Pepper Town, where two guys named Dub and Peter go to a junkyard to create a really fast car to pick up girls. When completed by Peter, the car was named "Peter 1" with Dub as its driver. The car is controlled by a computer and has its own personality and can talk to Dub.

While taking the car on a drive, Dub meets a girl named Elizabeth about to be kidnapped by two thugs, Lord Asatias and Rock. Dub gets out of the car and starts fighting them. After knocking out Rock, Asatias pulls a gun on him, but Peter 1 saves Dub when it brings out a small cannon that shot a ball at Asatias' hand, knocking his gun. When Asatias sees that Dub has a nice car, he challenges Dub to a race, promising to give him 1 million Zeni and to return the girl.
They go race on the outskirts of town through a canyon. The race then goes aerial as both vehicles change it flying modes. As the thugs begin to shoot Dub with their vehicle, Peter 1 pulls out a missile launcher from under the hood and destroys their vehicle, making Dub the winner.
After Dub wins the 1 million Zeni, he rushes over to Elizabeth, only to find out that she already has a child and a very muscular husband. The story ends with Dub deciding to give the 1 million Zeni to his friend Peter, but then asks for him to make a robot girl that resembles the real world actress Hikaru Nishida (西田 ひかる).
