Oh Man........gotta go to YouTube again to set the clocks back
on the Dakota & Miata (aftermarket radios).
 
The clock in one of my tractors reads daylight savings time 12 months of the year! Needless to say, I don't use it much in the winter. ;)
 
I prefer being on real time.
 
Tulsa is too far east. Those big city folk are all a little strange anyhow.
 
Being an anti-morning person I'd be quite happy to leave the clock on the summer time setting all year. What I really don't understand is why it has to be such a pain. I bought years ago a cheap (as in under $20) AM/FM nightstand alarm clock that automaticlly sets itself not only for DST vs. standard time but also the time itself. The instructions were simply set a rotary dial to your time zone, plug it in and wait. Within 15 minutes it had set itself to exactly the right time, and flips between DST and standard automatically. A couple years ago I bought an inexpensive wall clock (same basic definition - under $20) that does the same thing. Why can't we have the clocks in our cars, TV's, microwaves, etc ALL be like that - it obviously can't be that expensive if they can sell these things for under 20. I'd gladly pay an extra 20 to have a car clock that I know is always right.
 
The clock in my car says it is getting some signal and changed to standard time this weekend. When I access it tells me so, yet it is still daylight savings for the display. Even Toyota couldn't correct it. Ain't technology grand....
