I do exactly the same so I must be a nerd too!!!
if you set the trip on purpose at 55k just to get it to read 55,555 then fair play!
Actually that's pretty cool to get them both on all the 5s

Yep!!
I planned to do it as mine came to 0123456 with 789.0 on the trip, did the calocs and then missed it because i was driving down the motorway in the
dark and my er, passenger took the photo with my mobile and it turned ouit black 
Else it would have been on here
Qoute: "Does this make me a nerd?"
Nah! People record the temperature all the time mate

A little Obsessive Compulsive, perhaps...
30degC, mmmmmm the summer!!
You are not alone. When I got my first brand new car (Mk5 Fiesta at 18 years old) I took the moment to record many milestones.
I took a photo of 15000 last summer in the kit car!
If you pre calc'ed it then yeah thats pretty geeky, but my god I do some geeky things that make me laugh all the time.
Right, where was that 9999 mile I took from 9 years ago . . . . .

i do this with mine as well.
topped out about 15°C today, uncharacteristicly warm for this time of year! about 59/60F i think.
Edit: love the miles thing! I'm looking forward to 50k on the kit, should hit that in a couple of months.

Did you screech to a halt on the motorway to get the photo? 
I get a bit geeky when my clock says 13:37 or 11:34 xD

Nerd or not, that's quite cool in my (nerd) book 
Probably no more so than my 200+ mile journey trying to max out my MPG in my old Leon (bloody loved that car)......

I sing happy mileday to all my cars for the complete mile once they clock another 1000k milestone. If I miss it I must sing happy mileday for two
miles to make up for it.
I take photos of high mpg too....
I never knew there were so many of us, brings a tear to my eye.
Speaking of nerd-dom......
this is what
I have waiting on me at home.

No more nerdy than filling up at a petrol station at the top of the hill then coasting all the way down it to photograph this
99.9mpg
I average 26mpg normally in the SAAB 95, this was an epic half a mile

Found this photo from about 4 years ago, think i must have tried to get 100,000 and 0.0 on the trip.....and missed
What no missing pixels?? 
You obviously know SAAB's well
I am afraid that was last year, we now can't read much at all because we have about 3 pixels left !
Another job on the list, mind you, the wife says its fun trying to guess the time evry morning

Looks like I'm just as nerdy Nearly forgot to set the trip meter a the right time - was in 100km/h traffic on a motorway and alternating
between watching cars and watching the dash
