Feels weird to talk about the "can neither confirm nor deny" stuff when the website for the Warren AFB and 90th Wing so plainly say that they have and operate ICBMs.

They drive significantly under the speed limit; of course everyone passes them.

Transporting a nuclear warhead is probably safer. I'm sure there are tons of safeguards to prevent an accidental detonation, and with a military escort people are more likely to be drive carefully around you.

If you follow too closely, you can rear-end one.

They could sell bumper stickers. "This car passed a Nuklear ICBM"
