Seeing Elvis's determination to expose him, Steve cleared his throat and faced him with false bravado. "I don't have to prove anything. Only middle-class men do that," he boasted, trying to assert his dominance over the situation.

But Elvis wasn't fazed. With a chuckle, he fired back, "If you really bought that car, you should be proud of it, and have no qualms about producing the receipt."
