I have TOTAL faith in Brian's ability to make it!
Hell, if he has any kind of mechanical issue at 2am in the middle of Nowhere, he'll just whittle a new part out of some roadside trash and go merrily on his way! You da man, Brian!
[Helpful hint: the compass should be pointing WEST at all times. Since that level of technological expertise may be outside your feeble grasp at 3am, just remember that you started on the RIGHT coast, so your general direction should be towards the LEFT. However, if you find yourself somehow in Canada, reverse these directions since it's a well known fact that everything is done backwards up there.]
