Weapon of Mass Distraction

I found an WMD!!! It's here in Minneapolis. I was driving on I-35W and a Hummer limo was behind me. I have never seen such a beast before. I had a hard time looking at the road ahead of me; I had to keep looking in my rearview mirror. Consider it a fear-fascination phemenon.

One of my safety rules when drving in congestion is to make sure I'm behind an 18-wheeler, rather than in front of it. I don't want to get smashed by a semi in the event of a sudden stop. I am now augmenting my rule, and am going to make sure that Hummer limos are in front of and not behind me.

As an aside, what the hell is I-35W doing with rush hour congestion on a Saturday afternoon?
