Here is the Car & Driver link to the Cadillac CT4-V blackwing story.

The black interior is a bit depressing, it needs something to liven it up;

While in the pool one of the most over weight unattractive women I’ve ever seen comes waddling towards me. She’s covered front and back with tattoos like she really needs to draw attention to herself. I heard someone say, “wow, would you look at that” ? It was a middle aged guy talking to his wife (I think). She gives him the shush sign then says, “keep your voice down”. Then proceeds to say, “you should have seen her trying to get down those steps to get into the pool”. Glad I also missed that spectacle.
Now I have to find a way to scrub what I did see out of my memory bank. HELP.

Before there will ever be a truly significant uptick in the sale and commensurate production of EV’s, a major public investment in EV charging stations throughout the entire country coupled with significant private investment in charging capabilities in communities and cities is a prerequisite to the success of the entire EV growth initiative.
People who own private homes already have a means to charge EV’s, but what about the populous who live in apartments and condos? I live in a community of over 5000 people who have no means of charging an EV. The cost of setting up charging stations at each building could run into the millions of dollars for the HOA if you include the necessary wiring and increased parking spaces necessary. Coordination between federal and local sources of capital investment and owner investment is essential if there is any hope of success for this endeavor nationally.
I would have purchased an EV instead of my G90 back in March if I had a means of charging it. I am a perfect candidate for an EV due to my short trips around town. I am all for a transition to EV’s, but the ability to charge an EV must be preceded by sufficient charging capabilities. Why produce millions of EV’s if the consumer cannot easily charge their batteries?

That’s the best solution I could come up with. Too bad I’m not smart enough to know how to even start the ball rolling on this but maybe I’m smart enough to patent the idea. Remember where you heard this first.

One would think that people would be smart enough to present themselves in a good light if your going infront of a judge. Or are you saying that was her "Sunday go to meeting" best?

Funny that you mention that. One day an attorney had his chunky female client show up literally underdressed. I razzed him about it and he said, "I told her to wear her Sunday best. I guess for her that means to wear a bra with her tube top."

Probably. If you don’t have a volt meter to check the voltage drop of that set up, you gotta improvise for that too. That guy is on the ball.

From my understanding (which might not mean a lot) you are covered in cases of careless driving, you made an accidental mistake, but if it can be proven you did something reckless, or were driving while intoxicated, your insurance company probably won't pay for damage you have done.
Something to consider, if tempted to race someone or go around a corner too fast when it has been raining.
It boils down to this, what does the policy say? And how will the courts interpret what it says.
Most people that say they will sue are bluffing, as proven by how few actually sue insurance companies. This is what it all boils down to actually, cold-hearted calculations on the likelihood you'll put the policy language to the test; they already know they are fighting a losing war, but they know you might go AWOL before the war is over. Maybe encouraged with $1,000 nuisance money.
What about talking to a passenger in your car? What about looking at a paper map? What about yelling at the kids in the back seat? what about rubber necking that cute lady walking down the road? What about reading the Burma Shave signs?
**********************************************************************************(my intelligent comments below)
Those are normal natural things you do.....that are careless. Reckless would be racing someone, driving while intoxicated, going around a corner at 80 mph in a 50 mph zone when the roads are icy...maybe. It depends on the evidence presented, you'd even have to prove over the limit if dui. Reckless is making a conscious decision to do something that you really should not be doing.
I don't normally or naturally text while driving. I must admit I've used the talk-to-text Siri feature. Shouldn't do that, but it's not texting while driving in the sense that it is normally defined.
Wouldn't anything anyone personally never does then be defined as reckless by them personally? Based on your explanation, I think the answer is yes. It's the only real distinction you've made between careless and reckless.

You mean my "F da POLICE!" T-Shirt might have cost me that traffic trial verdict????

To be clear:
Careless Driving – Traffic violations that fall under this category are considered hazardous, negligent and unsafe according to CarInsurance.com. When a driver operates their vehicle carelessly, they are driving in such a way that could cause damage to person or property. CarInsurance.com uses running a red light or driving over the speed limit as examples of careless driving. When someone receives a ticket for careless driving, the crime isn’t considered as severe as it would be if they were accused of reckless driving.
Reckless Driving – Someone accused of reckless driving could be in serious trouble. The biggest difference between the terms “careless” and “reckless” comes from the motive behind the hazardous, negligent or unsafe driving. Someone driving recklessly has the intent to harm person or property, whereas the careless driver does not. The reckless driver is fully aware that they are driving in a hazardous manner but chooses to proceed anyway; there is a “wonton disregard” for the law and for the safety of those around them, according to FindLaw.com. Most states, as well as insurance companies, view reckless driving as a serious traffic violation

Driving 200 MPH in your Audi R8, that's just an infraction for 100+ violation. No need to cry over spilled milk.
Driving 200 MPH while making unsafe lane changes, tailgating, and/or passing on the shoulder, well, now you have 3 or more consecutive/simultaneous violations that constitute reckless driving charges.
So, when are you up for parole?

From the (potentially) reckless driving files… I was heading north on I-65 through Indiana the other day, about 15 miles short of Lafayette. Traffic seemed to have randomly slowed to about 60 mph for posted construction, but with no lane closures. Then as people in front of me started to get back on it, I happened to see a Camry in my mirror losing it’s bumper cover in the passing lane, and the doing a quick spin across the road. No idea how the Escape (the car I remembered being just behind me) missed hitting the Camry, nor how fast the Camry was coming up to lose it like that.
With the AC blasting away the advertised 260 mile range was reduced to 236. I asked the returning customer how she liked it and she said it was fine but took 8 hours to get a full charge at the station at her hotel.
It’s a nice little car with about the same horsepower as the Hyundai turbo 1.6L. I wonder what they lease for?
