I’m setting my rooster ahead.
 
My hope is we never need to set it back again after this weekend. Edison made the whole deal moot long ago.

I wake up in the dark no matter what the clock says. I've got 'lectricity! But I want that days-end sunlight as long as possible!

I'm in agreeement on this one - I have no issue with getting up and going to work in the dark - but having a little bit of daylight left when I get out of work is nice....
 
Darn! That means I need to go on the internet again,
& find out how to change the time on the radio in the Miata.
I have to do that twice a year.

Just wait - in 6 months it will be fine
 
That is what I do in my old Corvettes. The clock in the C2's does not like to be changed and the adjustment knob is unhappy if you move it too much. I just leave them in daylight savings time. In the Winter, the clock is off by an hour but it reminds me that Summer will come again.
 
Could be more annoying, my clock in the Toyota says it is set to east coast and to use daylight savings. I set it for that time the summer I got it and despite the fact it says it has switched to standard time, the display does not. So I've just grown used to it being an hour ahead from November to now.
 
Or get a car with a mechanical (wind-up) clock, like my 71 Mercedes 250 (W114).... it's always off just a little and requires frequent re-adjusting. If I wait long enough, it will read the correct time!

A broken clock is correct twice a day.

The Subaru's is easy, the Acrua's and Ford's are impossible. The Healey's is also mechanical.
 
The clock in my car just flashes 12:00 - 12:00 - 12:00 over and over! :D IYKYK LOL
