I'm 90% sure that this is the actual NMM, who is pretending to be a robot.

Discarded? Who would dare? Tsundere Princess ‘Bot is far too adorable for such a fate.

While keeping her eyes glued to me, she sidesteps and starts to walk along the passenger side of the vehicle, the windows giving you a view of her movements. The sand doesn't lend itself to creating loud footsteps but for her size, she's almost soundless. Quieter than she probably should be.

Missed a (you) in your conversion here. As an irrecoverable moonhorse fanatic and a dude who likes beating cars into shape you've got me hooked. Can't believe I somehow missed this on the Bolivian wicker shaping committee what with how much I used to lurk the bootleg thread.

This is odd, but interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes... And just how lost I'll get from all the vehicle talk.

She's definitely right about the quickest way of getting to the turbo on a 2.2/2.5 Chrysler, they're rather annoying at the best of times 😆

Huh. You mentioning some threads made me look them up on 4chan. Bootleg? You got one hell of a premise, story, and what amounts to a real good outline.

A promising start.
Would be improved by removing the occasional lapses into second person.

first chapter is good ^^

She's a robot? Well my day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable

he thinks she is, which is a bit odd. maybe a kid could think that, but i'll continue reading :)

Oooo a little bit of backstoryyy

Edit: okay so um, somehow I clicked ch 1 instead of ch 14, and actually thought the first chapter was the new one ;-; whoops

"You don't have to search. I'm behind you, dumbass."

I read this is a different Loona voice

Really nice start. But as someone who isn’t a car person, google is going to be my best friend.

You poor soul. Cars are life.

Interesting

Also, out of curiosity, what year is the Trail Duster?

I guess I really never nailed down a year, did I? To be fair, it's not a significant detail of use, but an interesting question nonetheless that made me have to think a bit.
Just purely based off of my mind's eye when visualizing scenes in my head that include it, it's a '78 or a '79. it's less unique in front end design than prior years when compared to its Dodge sister - but that also means it would be more understandable to mistake for a RamCharger.

Thank you nonetheless though. I also have to ask, are you a Mopar fan by chance? I couldn't help but notice the amount of Chrysler Corp vehicles and components mentioned in the first five chapters.

Free illegal alien labor, nobody will notice!

Imma be honest with you, I'm not a car guy. But robot Luna story? Now that's an interesting premise. Reminds me of that other robot Celestia and Luna story (forgot the name).
