size 
 is expressed as relating to people, not vehicles.  Should it take damage as 
a 
 vehicle does?  (Meaning small arms do little or no damage, and explosives do 
 only light damage outside it's first blast radius, as per Road Warriors.)  
Or 
 should it take massive damage as a person-sized target does?  

Sice the familiar is a device, it takes damage as a vehicle. This should make 
it a little tougher to kill.

 2)  Should the Junker be allowed to spend chips on a 1-for-1 basis to 
prevent 
 wounds/damage?  Or does he have to spend 2-for-1 as usual like when giving 
 chips to other posse members?  

He can spend chips for the familiar at the usual 2-to-1 ratio. Since the 
familiar is taking vehicle type damage, each chip level spent negates on 
Durability Step's worth of damage, i.e. a white chip stops one Durability 
Step's worth, a red chip two etc.
