55 is in the Fibonacci sequence:
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 ...
55 is a triangular number:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55
It is the largest number that is both Fibonacci and triangular.
It is also a Kaprekar number:
55² = 3025 and 30+25 = 55

For all that, Sammy Hagar is precluded from vehicular travel at this velocity.
I'd like to see a proof that no larger Fibonacci numbers are triangular! (The linked wiki page also doesn't have any reference for that that I can see)
@Chris: here's the proof: http://www.fq.math.ca/Scanned/27-2/ming.pdf I just don't understand it! :)
