Welcome to the Hooniverse Classic Captions Post. This is a series of posts that are set to run this time each week, so let’s review the premise; I search for images that were used by the car companies in their print advertising or brochures, and it is your job to provide a humorous, snarky, or thought provoking caption that is some how tied in with the image. This week’s image has its fair share of what I call “The Creep Factor”.
Last Week, we had an image of a Shakespearean Troubadour in a Fiat, and the responses were few in numbers, but enlightening none the less. A few responses were truly inspired, including one from Atomic Toasters contributor mdharrell who came up with a caption that almost became the top vote receiver this time: “Luigi Dallapiccola’s “Fix It Again, Tony” is universally acknowledged as a masterpiece of modern Italian opera, despite the technical difficulties that have plagued every attempt to stage it.” Very interesting Professor Harrell, but not quite good enough.
This time the winning caption was from skitter, who tied in the period very well, with this Shakespearean Rhyme: “Giulietta, Giulietta, wherefore art thou, Giulietta?” This would have been more appropriate with an Alfa Romeo Spyder, but it was funny none the less, so well done skitter!
It’s now time to take a look at this weeks image, and it’s just this side of creepy… Here we have a 1978 Excalibur Series III Roadster with your typical 70’s sporty couple dressed for Tennis. Notice the look on the guys face, like he’s getting away with something while the Camera is shooting away. So, what do you think he’s doing? Copping a feel of the Blonde? Quietly wetting (or something else) in his shorts? Thinking about his next move after the photo shoot is finished? And you know its the 70s with that fantastic Porn Stache, and her Feathered Farah Fawcett Hair. Let’s see if you can come up with a funny, snarky, or an outrageous caption for this curious image.

You have the next five days to come up with a great caption. The editors will deliberate entries, and after contemplating our own caption, we will pronounce a winner. So, get to work and create you’re own caption for this interesting image
