east?

I am considering renaming The Mightier Steed "east".

There is a small compass attached to the front of The Mightier Steed, just above The Speedometer Than Knows Nothing Over 60.
Whenever I look at the compass, it invariably says I am facing east. There are two possible reasons for this:
1) By some innate sense of direction, I subconsciously know when I am facing east, and only then do I actually look at the compass
2) It's broken

I'm leaning towards #2, but I do have a pretty good sense of direction, so you never know...
