Default Poster Caption Needed

Thought I would get this photo printed poster size for my buddy Chuck of his 1972 LT-1. That is me in front of him. Nice late summer evening drive with the wives.
Any thoughts on a caption? Just as is?

Frankly, I would choose a different photo. I would have taken a picture looking back from your car looking at your buddy's car front view coming up. An awesome rear shot would be t tops off and camera centered just behind the windshield showing the whole front end of the LT-1 and your car maybe not so far ahead. I don't think any caption is necessary, you got the mood and message right.

Great picture. Doesn't need a caption. Chuck will love the pic and the sentiment.

I think a caption is trying too hard; let the photo speak for itself.

Nice picture, I would have closed the gap by 50% between the two cars to get more detail of your car in the picture.
