This picture satisfies my sense of order...
Discussion
There certainly are many occasions when things which have been done badly or without any attention to the most basic details really annoy us all and the "These pictures make my teeth itch" thread is the testament to how common this is. In fact, I've had a few pictures in that thread myself. However, there are times when something requires a bit of planning and effort, and works out exactly as you intended making you feel smugly superior.
I have managed to pull off the picture below yesterday, it required some planning and a bit of effort on the day when the outside temperature wouldn't rise above 13-14C to get the external temperature sensor to read the necessary figure, and I feel far more satisfied about having managed it than a grown man really should. The universe is in order... Mrs QQ, on the other hand, can't stop laughing at me about my little accomplishment.
Am I alone in feeling like this?

Poor effort.
If the pic had been taken whilst the needles on the dials were pointing at 20mph and precisely 2000 rpm.... then I'd have been impressed.
Edit - Dammit Deckster beat me to it.
But surely the wide divergence of needle vectors at 20mph and 2k rpm would ruin the pleasing matching of digit and parallel indicator that was so expertly crafted....the image you describe would be a candidate for the teeth itch thread surely?If the pic had been taken whilst the needles on the dials were pointing at 20mph and precisely 2000 rpm.... then I'd have been impressed.

Exceptional dedication to the 'ordered' cause.
Two of the four are easily manipulated though. The temp clearly was by the OPs admission - and clocks are relatively easy to change.OK the trip computer and mileage took a bit of planning - but still
(Certainly more dedicated than me!)
