Hooked On A Feeling
Chapter Two - Milo's Momma
Daniel is a Formula One driver, but, more importantly, he was a single dad to a wonderful little girl. He wants her to be a normal little girl, to have a normal social life, so he sends her to daycare. That was where she met Milo, her future best friend.
Milo's mother was incredibly stressed. She worked so hard to provide a good life for her son. But then he makes a new friend, a friend who has a hot dad (ofc they fall in love)

Olivia Ricciardo had hoped her father would be home in time to take her to daycare. But her grandparents comforted her as they drove her. With that attitude every five year old had, Olivia climbed out of the car and walked into daycare, without talking to anybody.
The first person she spoke to that day was Milo. She was clearly in a bad mood, but he gave it time, waited for her to cheer up. Maybe she was tired; Milo knew he was always grumpy when he was tired.
But Olivia wasn’t getting any happier. So, Milo got up from the floor and went to talk to the teacher.
As she watched him walk away, Olivia looked ready to cry again. Her bestest friend (of a whole week) walked away, leaving her on her own. Olivia shed a single tear, but the other children were watching, so she sucked it up.
But then Milo returned, dinosaur teddy bear in hands. He clutched it tight as he walked back over to Olivia and sat on the floor beside her. "This is Rexy," he said as Olivia hesitantly reached for it. "He's my favourite teddy in the whole wide world but you're sad so you can have him for today, but only for today okay?" He said quickly as Olivia squeezed the plush toy.
"Thank you," she said quietly and squeezed Rexy tighter.
Olivia didn't let go of the bear for the rest of the day. As she and Milo played with toys of chased each other around the yard, she always had Rexy.
That was exactly why Milo brought Rexy to daycare. Because, when he was having a tough day, nothing made him happier than having Rexy there.
At the end of the day Olivia handed Rexy back. Milo packed him into his bag and, together, the children walked out of daycare, heading to where the parents gathered. Olivia had no hopes of her daddy being there, waiting to pick her up and drive her home.
She still scanned the faces of all of the parents, and didn't see her own. "C'mon," said Milo, taking Olivia’s hand and pulling her towards his mummy, who was waiting by the gate.
As he walked over, his mother crouched down, pulling her into her arms. "And who have we got here, munchkin?" She asked him, taking his dinosaur backpack and swinging it over her shoulder.
"Momma, this is Olivia," Milo said.
Immediately Y/N noticed the tears in her eyes. "Hello, Olivia," Y/N said in a kind voice. "Milo has told me all about you," she said, trying to give the girl a reassuring smile.
Olivia levelled her a look. "Did Milo tell you about my famous race car driver daddy?"
"He did," Y/N replied, trying to stifle the small laugh she had at the little girls determination. "Well, if he or you mummy anywhere around here?" Y/N asked as she held Milo's hand in her own.
Crossing her arms, Olivia looked around the car park for her grandparents. Or their car. But it wasn't there. They weren't there. For the millionth time that day, Olivia wanted to cry.
But then she saw the 2006 Toyota Hilux.
And there he was, striding towards her in am AlphaTauri hat and sunglasses. "DADDY!" Olivia screamed at the top of her lungs and went running towards the man. He wasted no time in scooping her up and planting a kiss on her cheek.
"Hey, badger," he said, walking her towards where she had come from to thank the parent that was keeping an eye on his little girl.
Daniel walked over to a young woman, who looked as tired as he felt, holding the hand of a little boy. "That's Milo, daddy," she said into his ear as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
But she was walking away. "C'mon Milo," she said and tried to pull the five year old away.
Milo pulled away from his mother. "But Momma! That Olivia’s race car dad!" He insisted.
Trying to hide a sigh, Y/N picked Milo up and placed him on her hip. Milo had been wanting to invite Olivia over for a playdate for the last week, but had insisted his Momma wait until Olivia’s grandparents or dad were back, instead of her mum.
And now that Olivia’s dad was here, Milo was gonna get that playdate.
"Are you Olivia’s dad?" Y/N guessed as she approached.
Wearing his typically charming smile, Daniel held Olivia with one hand and held the other out towards Milo's mother (who couldn't do the same with her son in his arms). "Yeah I'm Olivia’s dad, Daniel."
"I'm Milo's mum," said Y/N as she nodded towards him. "Milo would like to know if Olivia would like to come to our house for a playdate," she offered.
Daniel let his smile falter. He loved that Olivia had made a friend, that somebody wanted to invite her for a playdate, but there was always doubt at the back of his mind. What if they were using her to get to him? It was incredibly sad that he had to think like that, but, with the life he had, he had to think like that.
“Can I, daddy?” Asked Olivia as she grinned. “Pleeeeaaaase!”
Daniel looked back at Milo’s mother. She was pretty, and she looked honest. But you couldn't tell what somebody was all about just from their face. "Do you mind if I come with her?" He asked. Milo might be been Olivia's friend, but his mum was still a stranger, and Daniel just wanted to make sure his badger was safe.
"Of course," said Milo's mother. "Say, this Friday after daycare?" She asked.
It wasn't a race weekend, so Daniel nodded his head. "Great," she said, adjusting Milo in her arms. "I'm Y/N, by the way," she finished.
The two said a quick goodbye, with the kids waving enthusiastically to each other as they went. Even as Milo got into his booster seat in the back of Y/N's Peugeot. Y/N offered Daniel one last smile as she put Milo's bag in the back and climbed into the driver's seat.
Daniel watched as Y/N pulled out of the daycare car park and made his own way out, driving Olivia home. "Are you excited for your playdate with Milo, Badger?" He asked as he looked into the rear view mirror.
Olivia was bouncing in her seat, cheeks red from smiling. "Yeah!" She shouted. But, mostly, Olivia was just happy to have her father home.
***
It was a Wednesday when Y/N met Daniel. The playdate was scheduled for two days time, so she immediately set about cleaning when she walked through the door.
If it was just Olivia coming for the playdate, she wouldn't have been cleaning so obsessively. Still cleaning, just not this obsessively. But, now that Daniel was coming too, sue wanted the house to be perfect.
With a house the size of theirs, it didn't take long to clean. She had Milo cleaning up his toys in the living room while she dusted the surfaces downstairs. "But Momma," Milo protested as he picked up a tray of lego. "'Livia and I are just gonna get my toys out again."
"Please, Munchkin," she said as she crouched down to gather up more of his toys. "I want Olivia and her daddy to see how nice our house is." She opened her arms and Milo collapsed into them, quietly muttering an 'okay momma'.
Y/N cleaned the entire house from top to bottom. She cleaned the two rooms that made up the downstairs and the bedrooms upstairs. She put Milo's shoes away in the cupboard and made sure the kitchen was clean, wiped the muddy cat paw prints from the wood of the stairs.
While Milo watched television, she cleaned his room, making sure it was perfect for when Daniel and Olivia came over.
"Momma, Olivias dad is gonna like our house," he said as she straightened up the rug in the living room. "Olivia said he's really nice."
"I'm sure he is, Munchkin. Momma just wants the house to be nice and clean, okay?"
"Okay Momma," Milo answered and went back to watching the television.

omg a māori f1 writer! not a request, but genuine question - who’s someone you can see being with a māori girl 👀 like who can you see being taken to a marae and learning how to hongi and meeting all the aunties and uncles
Haha omg it would be such an eye opener for all of them!
Lewis: he would be the type to ask to come with you because he wants to know more about where you come from. He is eager to learn and inquisitive, feeling prepared when he arrives at your ancestral land to a pōwhiri. Lewis has tears in his eyes when he sees the beautiful brown woman welcoming him with a karanga and from there he falls in love with the culture. He loves that there are always dozens of kids hanging around the marae and he never has a chance to sit down as he plays games with them for hours - they also teach him the haka. He would particularly like those hours after dinner where someone brings out their guitar and everyone sings along, the aunties harmonising perfectly, and he feels connected even if he doesn't understand the words.
Daniel: for obvious reasons 😂 being an Aussie, he’s laid back and it probably wouldn’t be the first time drinking a crate of beers in a paddock in the middle of nowhere. It would feel like a second home to him once he remembers to take his shoes off before he steps inside the marae. He doesn’t mind kissing every aunty on the cheeks but takes a bit of practice going in for a hongi without missing the uncles nose. After the formalities are done he is in his element and charms everyone which his infectious smile and constantly makes them laugh.
Oscar: another Aussie that is chilled af so he wouldn’t cause any drama at the marae. He is polite and helpful so the aunties love him and try to coax him out of his quiet state while recalling stories of you as they peel hundreds of potatoes. He is strong too so the uncles would steal him to dig the hangi pit and take the moment to threaten him if he hurts you. He can't hide his surprise when you explain the sleeping arrangements but after all the mattresses are laid out in one cavernous room he warms up to the idea and even feels nostalgic for the nights his family/cousins/friends would all sleep over and they would all drag their mattresses to the living room.
Lando: he’s lived/raced in NZ when he was younger so there would be a sense of familiarity coming back. He likes learning about different cultures (like his recent trip to the temples in Bali) so he would pay attention to the rundown given about customs. Unfortunately he has a terrible memory and may make a few mistakes with what’s tapu like snacking in the marae or sitting on the table. Also, he would fall in love with the food because there’s nothing spicy, something he cannot handle. Known to giggle at inappropriate times with the little cuzzies like when someone says whakapapa. Wakes up to find he rolled the wrong way in the night and is spooning an uncle not you.
Max: takes everything too seriously and is worried about messing up so he buys a book on Maori culture as soon as he lands at Auckland Airport and finishes by the time he reaches the marae. Is pleasantly surprised to find that after the formalities the entire atmosphere relaxes and he is treated like he has always been there. The aunties shoo him out of the kitchen when he tries to help, handing him a drink and sending him to the uncles who are all inspecting the new 4x4 someone bought. Surprisingly, he learns a bit about cars from them and wants his own Ford Ranger or Toyota Hilux now, despite Daniel trying to get him to convert to one for years.

"Hey, pretty. How about a cup of coffee for your regular?"
You looked up from the table you were wiping and found international rock star Suguru Geto seated in one of the restaurant's booths.
"No sweetener, like the usual?"
"Your smile's enough sugar for me," he chuckled.
As his next door neighbour and childhood friend, you've known him from his days as the guitarist for Infinity, your neighbourhood's most popular underground band. When he received an invitation to play the bass for the insanely famous city band Night Parade, he left behind his life in your small town and ran with his ambitions.
In between your work as a columnist and part-time waitressing, you tried your best to be present for him, answering his calls whenever you could and replying to his mundane texts, no matter how intermittent they were. Suguru was nothing but grateful for your support, and he knew for certain that you were always in his corner regardless of what he did.
And the first thing he did after his band's tour was return to his hometown, eager to spend his precious and well-earned vacation with his family and closest friends.
Rumours broke out that he was dating the rising model and fashion icon Manami Suda, something he hasn't talked about before, but now that it's all over the news, it was impossible for him not to say anything about it.
It was an unspoken routine you both built up in your heads, a seamless understanding that remained even after months and months of separation— he'd wait for your shift to end and drive you home in his orange Hilux, the car from his boyhood, one which you'd usually ride shotgun in.
Your night drives were always pleasant and quiet— it brought Suguru a sense of normalcy in his usually hectic life as an artist. While the world seemed to move twice as fast as you passed by every familiar street, time always seemed to stop whenever it was just you two.
It felt like you two were the only people in the world.
But you were ready to bid goodbye to this feeling. Suguru was seeing someone now, after all. Someone who fits in his world much better, you could even call them well suited for each other. You were perfectly content just being at his corner, never again to speak of your unyielding fondness for him. At least that's what you keep telling yourself.
His chatter died out as he pulled up to your family's front porch, a slight hint of hesitance before he eventually turned to you and beckoned you to come closer.
Suguru rested his forehead against your own, just like a cat seeking comfort from their master. While the close proximity was something you were used to, it didn't change the fact that it always sent your heart into hysterics.
Maybe he's tired.
He couldn't get a read on your expression, but he was surprised by the way you recoiled from what was supposed to be a tender kiss.
"S-Suguru, I know I said I'd always be in your corner, but I didn't expect you to think that I'm convenient…"
"What? No! That's not what I—"
"You're going out with someone, aren't you? It's everywhere… I know it's not my place to comment about anything, but please have some respect for them. And for me, too!"
"Hey! Gh—"
There was little he could do after you slammed the door shut on your way out.
"Ugh. Way to fuck things up, Suguru," he groaned to himself.
Tumblr media
The morning after crying out your eyes and heart was supposed to be unbearable, but you were far too rattled by the sound of Shoko's arrival, your best friend, now the local paediatrician, hastily pulling the covers off of you.
"Hey! Have you seen the news?!"
"What? Did anything happen?"
She fished out her mobile phone from her pocket and replayed the news clip that's already gone viral—
"—guru Geto has denied the rumours that he's dating supermodel Manami Suda and has revealed that he is trying to win the affections of his longtime friend. In a rather casual interview in his close friend and entrepreneur Satoru Gojo's podcast 'Inside the Hollow', Suguru spoke of—"
—and leaving you completely baffled. "Wait, what?"
An excerpt of Satoru's podcast played over the news clip.
"—toru, you and I know how much she… means to me. If she's listening to this now, I hope she knows how much I appreciate having her in my life. I've been looking forward to coming home after 10 months of touring and seeing her is one of the things I'm really excited abo—"
"Uh…?"
"I know I told him to come out with it so you guys could work things out, but I didn't expect him to be so… stupid!" Shoko sighed. "That idiot Geto just revealed your identity to nearly the whole world!"

There's some trans-esque quality about those truck caps that cover the beds of pickup trucks sometimes. They really change the silhouette and transform it into a different vehicle to my brain. Do you have any thoughts on that?
I sure do! For one, see my post on the most genderfluid car. And for two, that's literally actually happened to one of the biggest names in off-roading!
At the start of the 80s, Toyota sent over a handful of their Hiluxes (1500, to be exact - mainstream automakers have very big hands) to Winnebago, and no, not to make them into trucks, they had Chinook for that, but to make them cut the rear wall, install rear seats and a rear canopy -able but not really meant to be removed- and send them out the door as a Toyota Trekker.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When all of them sold, Toyota decided to make some of their own when the next Hilux came around.
Thus, the Toyota 4Runner: literally just a Hilux...
Tumblr media
...with the rear wall removed for access to the rear seats and a rear roll bar to pretend they'd survive a rollover...
Tumblr media
...with a rear canopy protecting it all.
Tumblr media
Now, I personally don't really get this - this Hilux generation was sold with four doors, and why you wouldn't you rather tack a canopy onto that than have to shove your kids through the front doors? Maybe for the ability to fold the rear seats down and use that room for cargo?
Tumblr media
Whatever it was, the 4Runner was extremely successful, successful enough to motivate Toyota to make the new one an actual different body instead of tacking shit onto a pickup... and to popularize the word SUV. Yup.
Tumblr media
Oh, you could also still get this one as a three door, for some reason!
Tumblr media
The 4Runner has since evolved away from the Hilux to the point of sharing nary a panel, and has become one of the biggest names in off-roading in its own right.

CYBERPUNK 2077: Thorton Colby "Vulture"
A modified Thorton Colby CX410 Butte, designed for death races in the Badlands. Uparmoured, ruggedised and equipped with a pair of well-concealed machine guns, as well as a far less well-concealed guided missile launcher, the Vulture is a mean opponent, and might even keep you safe in Pacifica!
On another note, the Vulture has become my favourite variant of the Colby, though I prefer the Little Mule's paint job. The 'Vulture' would look supreme with a .50 on the back as well, either a CROWS setup or operated manually like a Hilux technical, it might even be in competition with Panam's rig for most dangerous thing on the ground since the Abrams tank.
Speaking of which, I have to post that thing about the homebrew Nomad clan called the 'Ironsides,' a Nomad clan of 'forgotten' US Army troops (read: went AWOL during the 4th Corpo War) from the 1st Armoured Div who drive around the Badlands in souped up HEMTTs, FMTVs, Bradleys and Abrams, as well as whatever other vehicles they've picked up over the years. Of course, by 2077, all but the clan's elders are new blood, joining the clan from the streets, or 'vets', the descendants of the original unit.

A theory
People would be more enthusiastic about electric cars if they were more stupid technology.
And what I mean by this is: The approach to electric cars comes from a more Tech Futurist, Brave New World, "The tech singularity will evolve humanity!" mentality, not designed for the homesteading truck driver.
That's not going to attract Farmer Ned who needs a cheap, reliable way to bring lots of heavy, rambunctious loads from A to B and survive like a Toyota Hilux. That's not going to attract the 16-19 year old boys that want to have a sweet ride with a lot of power to show off their youth and potential and power on the road and ability to drive. That's not going to attract the diesel loving woman that likes the power and efficiency of the engine.
If you want to attract people to electric cars and get people more enthusiastic about them, you need to make the cars dumber. You need to make it so you can TOTALLY OWN the cars and not need a million software updates. You need to make it so some fellow named Bob can institute a clever repair of the mechanical parts with clever use of welding and a few ordered parts.
The mentality that people shouldn't be able to OWN their own vehicles as property has to die, if you want people to drive electric cars. The end user needs to be able to just get in, turn the key and drive with as few digital computer bits as an I.C.E. from the 1967.
But that's not the direction Brave New Worlders want people to go. They aren't trying to sell a car, they're trying to shoehorn people down a path they may not necessarily want to go. Where the software makers dictate and gatekeep on if your car runs or not, it can be shut off externally via a signal, or the data accessed without your awareness or permission.
The first people to be able to make Absolutely Dumb electric cars that just run with the torque and energy efficiency of a standard EV but have all the personal privacy and private ownership of a classic automobile, will make a mint.
Electric vehicles do not need a lot of potentially carcinogenic lubricants and oils in the engine because magnetic fields and electricity do most of the driving for them. They don't need expensive chemical fuels, even if electricity expenses may grow as more people use them. They don't need expensive catalytic converters with rare metals, because they don't produce noxious fumes out the exhaust pipe. They can be stripped down powerhouses.
You just need batteries or capacitors big enough to store the charge that'd give you as much work as a tank of gasoline or diesel. And that's it. Outside that, it's all brake pads and non-ICE engine stuff. Maybe some electronics for luxury.
Design an electric car for the stiff who has to buy a cheap A-to-B vehicle and doesn't NEED stuff like self-warming seats, that's just a powerful body so they can pick up and move shit and not spend a fortune repairing and replacing things, or maintenance and repair is so easy that the mechanics can get in, switch out parts, get out, and get people on their way. ICE engines are very complex and complicated, electric motors are nowhere near as complicated or should be that expensive.
But the Brave New World people don't WANT this sort of availability, they want it too expensive for the poor layman to afford, because they don't like the idea people can just get up and move thousands of pounds of vehicle and belongings so easily.
