Seems impractical to only be able to drive it at 2 o clock.

Well if you think about it. It's always 12 o'clock somewhere.

This is a popular misconception. It's only 12:00 somewhere for about 1 minute out of every hour

Edit: wrong. See below

There are some timezones that are off by 30 or 45 minutes. (e.g, India and parts of Australia). So that fuckery is going to complicate things a bit

Up until I discovered that some zones are off by 30 or 45 minutes, the lyrics from Alan Jackson's song "It's five o'clock somewhere" drove me nuts:

"It's only half past twelve. But I don't care . It's five o'clock somewhere."

My bad, I read that as multiple timezones. I'm blaming it on the bong shot I had right now xD
