Yah, no need to use a bolt...IMHO that's actually a pretty dumb idea. All you really need to do is either just use straight white glue or 5 min epoxy and just plant it to your base. When I do groundwork such as a non street scene, I use tile grout as my "earth", and while it's curing, I just plunk the vehicle right on top, lightly press it in, but not enough to sink it, and once the grout cures, it ain't coming off.
