Clock changed to Daylight Savings by itself
Anyone else notice that the clock in there car changed to the correct time automatically? Now I know modern systems know when to change times, however, this time change is not the usual time change. Did they have enough notification at the factory to program the clocks to change at the new time date ? Anyone know if our car clocks are tuned in to the Nuclear Clock and are adjusted automatically like some wrist watches? I swear my clock adjusted itself.

RE: Clock changed to Daylight Savings by itself
I started to wonder if I have been driving around with it set at Daylight Savings time since last October when it changed and never realized it. Sadly, that scenario makes a lot more sense then my 'changed automatically" theory. LOL I can't believe I haven't looked at the clock and nticed it was off by an hour all winter. Then again I drive it sparingly.

Possible answers:
1. Your car's ECM has an Intelligence all of its own just like the deranged car in Stephen King's "Christine", Hasselhoff's "K.I.T.T." in the "Knight Rider" or the evil "HAL 9000" in Kubrick's "2001: a Space Odyssey".
Should this be the case, get rid of your car immediately (without letting it know what you're planning to do!).
2. One of your enemies (some Ricer you thrashed, or perhaps even a "friend" who's sick with envy over your Stang and now hates your guts?) spiked your bud with a hallucinogen and you just THINK it's adjusted for D.S.T.
Rehab, detox, and lawsuit.
or, hopefully:
3. You simply forgot to reset it last December and failed to notice it...
"tuned in to the Nuclear Clock"- like a $25,000 Patek chronometer?
JEEZ...!!!

Haven't you ever wondered why the Mustang's radio antenna is so freakishly long? It's not for radio reception. Ford uploaded the new DST through a satellite they have in asynchronous orbit around Earth. The signal originated from their secret facility which lies 55 feet below the Ford Factory. I know, my cousin's friend's uncle's step brother-in law works there.
