In it was a picture of a truck hitched to an open trailer, and a Cobra situated precariously over the front edge of the trailer. The owner had forgotten to properly strap down the Cobra. When the rig came to a stop, the Cobra rolled forward. 
Captioned below the picture were words similar to this: "At least it was just a replica." At that point I humbly realized where I stood within their organization.

A lot like the SAAC convention circa 1985 when an ERA slipped it's e-brake and rolled down a hill in Dearborn to center punch Jim Wicks Mercury station wagon...as the "Cobra" bled coolant and the owner stared in shock, some "arbiter" pronounced loudly "Thank God it wasn't REAL!!!!"
Seemed "real" enough to the owner...............................
