Please raise your hand if you get the morning sunlight before the rest of North America.

I'm in Nova Scotia, so I'm in the Atlantic time zone (an hour ahead of New York) but I'm afraid that Thundergrowl, who is in Newfoundland, would still beat us by a half hour...

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Actually, where I live, I can go about 40 miles east in the morning to watch the sunrise over the ocean in the morning, then 5 miles west to watch it set over the ocean in the evening. Well, not quite the ocean for the sunset... the Minas Basin, actually, but it's still salt water and you can't see land on the other side, so it's ocean enough :hick:

BTW, t3skidoo: Where are you at? I was always under the assumption that the only parts of North America on Atlantic time were the Maritime provinces of Canada and Labrador. Unless, of course, you're in the Dominican Republic or Puerto Rico...

You're right, I don't know of anywhere in the US that's on Atlantic time. I'm "in the middle", but will be up in your neck of the woods here in a month or so, PEI and NS.

At the risk of making a fishing reference here, I'm in the same boat as this guy. In Nova Scotia, so I can head down the Highway I live on to see the sun rise over Country Harbour, or head 1/2 hour the other way to see it set over the Northumberland Straight.

Ha, one of the perils of being a anaglyptographic anthropologist, I guess.

I know what an Anthropologist is (I'm an Anthropology nut myself) but the rest is some serious Greek, dude.:hick:

Nice. You study folk carvings for a living, or a hobby?

oldraven,

Mostly a curious tourist.  It would be nice to meet some FTBCF folks while I'm up there, and see their rides, of course.
