Someone's found a reason to dream again.
Honor Bound's gonna have to change her name to Speed Racer at this rate.
She's falling for em
10583828
That would be because chapter 55 contains some very explicit sexual content and you don't have Mature mode on.
Well, at the moment its beaten the steam powered Austin Mini.
Wonder ifAnonymousis goingto make an electric version next so that a much smaller steam engine can give similar performance, maybe even turbine? Depending on efficincies, like Brayton closed loops?
Update
10585865
Forgot you can mark singular chapters with that now

I'd just like to point out that you just described a series of anachronisms. That's it.
The TVTropes page on this sort of thing refers to such an event as an Anachronism Stew, but the only difference between "An Anachronsim" and "(an) Anachronism Stew" is quantity, no new qualites added.
Speedypone 🤘😎
Lovely chapter! Had fun living in the spectator seat for the first equestrian automobile test run!
Also I appreciate all the updates!
Cool video, that thing's whisper-quiet and surprisingly speedy.
Oh boy...
...I'd be wholeheartedly disappointed in Anon if he doesnt at least think eurobeat music when the cat of his goes drifting off the road.
In other news, Earth Ponies could be decent drivers. Would've assumed that wrong what with the car being between them and the ground.
I wonder if different pony species would have different base experience driving.
Pegasi would likely all be speed-freak-y.
Anon'd be lucky if unicorns don't constantly do "drive and do make-up" thing. Hella lucky. He'd have to force really strickt safety rules through with the Princesses I recon.
10585870
Honestly, I made an assumption based on the fact that was the only difference between the chapters that I could think of. If that's actually a thing I'm surprised.
10585863
And what I love about it is that it's so damn realistic. Proximity brings Familiarity. Familiarity brings Affection.
It's a lovely cycle.
10585876
Great soundtrack for the chapter.
10585878
She will have her name as the first rest driver in the history books
10585856
Indeed This is but the beginning
10585867
So mutch potencial
10585880
The difference between mad man and genius is there success
This chapter was really cute and fun
Glad Honour has found the feeling of wonder and excitement again...dunno why I get the feeling she's falling for Anon but maybe I've been reading too many romance fics lately lol
This Prototyp needs better wheels for better handling and braking. This Prototyp is already fast! Ones all the kinks are out the only real speed limitations come from missing payed roads to support smooth riding.
10585876
That soundtrack fits 5 times on auto read function for me and it really fits like a glove
10585923
Anon could need a mare at his side and Honorbound could need a man at hers
After cars.
Eurobeat.
Yep, the primary thing about technology is you don't need to be an engineer or unicorn to use it. This is also a significant minus in the eyes of the already entitled when it comes to providing others with advantages only you had.
Yessssss, hes making progress.... SO MUCH PROGRESS!
I wonder if the princess saw this?
10585857
He actually wore a top hat? Was he also tropesavvy enough to grow a long pencil or handlebar mustache?
Spending a bit to much time around a certain Specialist and Sargent, Honor.
This entire scene is so strange if you put it in context. A human, on an alien planet, with magic talking equines, presumably from the 21 century, talks like a nobleman, works like he’s been an engineer for decades, and is dressed in a way that reminds me of the era this steam powered cart their driving comes from. Such a baffling and entertaining character.
I so bucking ship these two.
Yeehaw, what a ride!
This isn't the first fic I've seen where automobile technology is introduced to ponies, but it's always an interesting read when it is. Man I love cars.
10586005
Then the local nobility start buying them...
(I always think of Will Ferrell when I see this.)
Change is coming
BTW you should probably update the description on account of the fact that the Pastebin is down. In fact, a
shit tonalmost all pony pastes on pastebin are now private because Pastebin decided to fuck around and make anything that triggers their "SMART" filters private, without even the option of it being unlisted. Just an FYI10586098
Thanks for reminding me. It should be fixed with Ponepaste links momentarily.
Edit: Fixed!
Next time, on ELWG:
Aww... They're soo cute together!
10586076
Driving through Earth Pony neighbourhoods and telling them to go back to Earth.
Main difference would be the fire might be magical.
10586260
"Go back to Ponyvil-"
*Bucked into a ditch*
And thus the Canterlot Drift was invented!
I wonder if the Flim Flam Brothers will start attempting to manufacture cheaper yet horrifically substandard vehicles.
10586272
Well this would be Canterlot. I don’t think it would be so much of a ditch as it would be open air going all the way down to the ground.

It'd be confusing if presented straight-faced as a hodgepodge from Earth, about Earth, but keep in mind that the order and distribution of societal and technological advancement humanity has undergone is not a fundamental constant. These are not humans, and this is not Earth. That we developed the steam locomotive before dynamite doesn't mean that that is simply how things work. That we conceptualized feudalism before communism does not mean others will do the same.
Remember, advancement is all about people finding solutions to problems that exist to them at the time. That an alien civilization faced different circumstances and/or created different solutions to similar problems should not be seen as weird or anachronistic. They are different, so we cannot expect them to be the same as us.
It was adorable watching Honor learn to drive, but my suspension of disbelief was broken, at least for the main character. When he said, "I think I'll try building an automobile this weekend," I thought is was jest, and that it would take him a month at least to build and test anything of this scale, and without magic.

It's also worth mentioning that Greek and Roman engineers toyed around with steam engines two millennia ago but simply never did anything with them aside from making some toys and demonstrational devices. An engine is only obviously useful once you have something potentially useful that requires one to operate, or which can be readily altered to use one. Until then it's merely a curiosity.
I'm just imaging two scenes:
Glimmer pulling up beside Sparks: "Get in loser, we're going to Hot Topic."
Royal Gala, Anon and the guardsmares roll up to the check in, shocking everyone in attendance, before filing out and strolling into the dance like they own the place.
That video at the end was very informative. I can see why steam powered automobiles were phased out, but It is almost sad to see a useful and powerful technology go by the wayside for things that were more easier at the time.
It makes me wonder what modern science can do to improve these wonders.
Drift Queen!
Now to get an outrageously armed Wacky Races style menagerie into a race and...
Wow, you are incredibly dedicated; 55+ chapters with a total over 150,000 words! and still going strong?! You are a huge inspiration for me brah!
I really enjoy the chapters with interactions between Honour Bound and Anon. They really do mesh very well together.
Awesome chapter
10586076
Probably their second best. Personal fave is the guy leaving the party to get more booze.
AND IT’S LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY WE GO FOR THE FIRST EQUESTRIAN GRAND PRIX!
deja vu, i've been in this place before
