Taylor seems to be really odd in her actions this chapter. We get shown she will flirtatiously wink and sashay at a random neckbeard but is also supremely dense on romantic matters and prefers super vanilla hand holding BDs? Like what is her characterization regarding this
Want to bet that it comes back in an understated but dignified red with subtle green highlights?
Also she should get a recommendation for a good mechanic to look at the engine. A proper tune up will improve the mpg and only shave 10-15 mph off the top end at most.

"Hey! Our maple syrup totally comes from a tree!"
"Oh, my apologies."
"Straight from the pine!"

She just started play acting which is a safe prelude for the actual thing for teens. Similar to little girls' makeup sessions. Will she graduate eventually to pecks on the mouth and, shudders, groping? Maaayyybe.
Her friends in the dollhouse could arrange a date for her with Anders. They know she's into him. Taylor refuses. She fears it ruins her fantasies with 'Mr. Maximilian.'
I love this.
She's trying to be social with a bunch of much more socially (and sexually) experienced older people. Fake it 'till you make it. It doesn't last once she realizes who Anders is and falls into embarrassment when she uses his full name that he didn't give her.

Minor question/correction @SpiraSpira
Great chapter, glad to see her making some more contacts/friends. New job offer as well Dommy Mommy Boss indeed.
As an aside, I have to wonder how much my character 'V' would have to pay for parking spots since I went out of my way to collect all the cars in the game, LoL.
As the great and all powerful interwebs defines 'no later than the time specified' I think that this should instead be '...at the latest.'

It's a Nomad modified car.
It's ALREADY at the best it can be made to be.

I expect you can sell it and the richer people in cyberpunk quietly get some form of it for themselves (quietly because can't admit weakness). But it being largely unavailable to the rest of the population fits.

...do you ever hear about the corpo execs going cyberpsycho? No, it is always the Miltech grunts, the booster-gang dumbasses, or the rockerboys that went over for the vine. What does this say to me? That the highest reaches KNOW what causes Cyberpsychosis and can prevent it, but the narrative is too useful for them to release said knowledge.
Taylor thinks she needs certification to be a back alley doctor.
She is a bit out of touch with reality.

Hey! You're being very rude to Mr. Dommy Mommy! He was very explicitly not a neckbeard!

Wouldn't he be Mr. Subby Sonny, with Taylor being Ms. Dommy Mommy?Hey! You're being very rude to Mr. Dommy Mommy! He was very explicitly not a neckbeard!
dommy mommy boss lady will get you on the comfy bed and order you to talk about your problems. See, therapy does sell when you dress her snazzily and give her a crop. For some bizarre reason there's no sex though.

You joke but that's something of a side job of high end prostitutes so I wouldn't be surprised if it's a thing in the setting.

I think it is literally what the high end doll chips do. When v visits clouds they essentially get an abrupt therapy session. The people themselves don't have the skills it's all granted by the doll chip.

It's really nice seeing Evelyn before she got ground down, and same with Himeko. I always felt like CDPR had pretty dim view of the sex workers in CP2077 as they all got pretty shallow motivations and writing, basically always treated like victims or completely self serving.
I would love Taylor to meet young Rita, I have a feeling they would get scarily well lol

i personally think it would be hilarious and even cute for Taylor to get with (not) Kaiser. A person who understands, even just peripherally, why she would want a more romantic and touchy feely relationship i imagine is rare in the Cyberpunk universe and no matter what you say about Kaiser he is a smart man who knows how to get things done so if even some of that intelligence, cunning and business acumen is available to his doppelganger than i could see this as the start of a beautiful relationship and maybe even the start of a budding corp....Medhall perhaps

Part of that is a bit of an unspoken compact with various politically loud communities.
You can't really show successful and well-adjusted sex workers, nor can you show the good they do for society. The narrative has to be maintained and heaven forfend you show sin as a good thing.
It irks me a little when you think about the fact that the only reason the trafficking and abuse happen is because we view workers as lesser than, when in all honesty they should be treated with the same level of cultural respect as any therapist or healer.
Really depends on the writer.
To be more clear in my statements:
Nomad cars are tuned to get every last drop of horsepower the engine can achieve, which is great for tearing through the badlands but not so much for the city. Plus it was a Raffen car so I don't know what kind of maintenance it's had. So I was saying that it actually needs to be downtuned slightly for better fuel economy so she doesn't need a third job to fill the tank. Also it probably needs mufflers because those straight pipes ringing behind your head is like getting your teeth drilled.
A Nomad is probably the best person to handle this, actually, not a city mechanic.
Nomads have to deal with long distances and possibly unreliable logistics where running out of fuel could be a literal death sentence. It stands to reason that they'd only optimize for performance at the expense of efficiency in scouting or fighting vehicles, and that even then they would know how to retune those for fuel efficiency when they don't actually need to take truly rough terrain.
A city mechanic isn't going to be as good because for them, fully stocked gas stations every 5 miles are a fact of life.
Too bad she didn't (iirc) ask for that Nomad family's numbers. Getting their contacts was the first thing she should have done, IMO.
