You're supposed to take a picture when you hit 1,110,001,111 miles.

OK. I get it. You finally hit 21 miles!
The number 10101 represents:
16 + 4 + 1
So, the answer is: 21
Can you say NERD? I can say it louder!

Believe it or not, I think I'm now over 600 hours in the car! For most people that would translate to >20,000 miles. Most of my driving is commuting from my place in Boston to sites in and around Boston....hence my avg speed is about 22 mph despite the occasional 150 mph runs! Yeah it's sad but I drive the car 5-7 days a week year round.

Rotaries....ugh. We are after all NEW England, so I guess it's fitting that we have so many roundabouts.

This thread reminds me of a statement/joke that few understand:
"There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't".

I always heard it as:
"There are only 10 types of people in the world — those who understand binary, and those who get laid."
But really hexadecimal is where it's at. People who understand hexadecimal are one in a.
