Wait, does his collection have an actual '53 Goldtop?

You remind me of my wife:

Me: Marry me!?!?
Her: Serious? (+ stink eye)
Me: Marry me!
Her: You serious? (+ more stink eye)
Me: Yes, marry me!
Her: Are you serious? (looking for the camera)
Me: I am.
Her: You can't be serious?
Me: [nothing - contemplate running]
Her: Seriously?
