Meanwhile, Allison, a cute (but somewhat retentive) girl at Gib's college has also decided to head out to Cal. to see her boyfriend during break. Gib and Allison are thrust together on a road trip from hell, and somewhere along the way, they find each others company to be tolerable. Now, what will become of Gib's "sure thing?" |

| The color of the car they are traveling in. |
| When the bike Cop stops the car, Alison gets out of the back door twice. |
| When Gary is driving after the first night in the hotel he is on the left-hand side of the road. In the next shot he is back on the right. |
| When Gib teaches Alison to shotgun a beer his pants become soaked with beer but when he leaves the room they are completely dry. |
| While in the blue car they are supposed to be driving west to California yet at the end of the first day there is a shot of the car coming toward the camera with the sun setting behind it which means the car was driving east. |

| The trees and the grass are too green in the Midwest for a trip that is supposed to take place in the middle of winter. |
| During the swimming pool scene, as the camera pans following Alison swim, the upper right hand window reveals the top of a palm tree. Very odd for the New England setting. |
