Victory!

Thanks Steve for being such a good sport - we love you man

The exit interview

After the initial shock, Steve realizes that he has been trumped

Total shock as Steve opens the "gift" and has no idea what is going on

Hear the Dinan 5 purr like a kitten

Now meet the Dinan 5

Supercharged, suped up 550i, 396 hp, pure monster. Steve only thinks I got the 528i, because that's what I told him. In reality while Steve was out with friends, toasting his mighty E550, I was taking my 550i to the shop and having the ride pimped out with a new exhaust, throttle body, software, and a lot of other moterhead stuff that I don't understand. Look how it glistens in the sun, fresh from a hand waxing.

Meet Steve Kawaja

and his lovely wife Jenny and cute daughter Sadie. Here Steve is enjoying a sunny day by the pool in Santa Monica. Life is good. Steve owns a Mercedes E550 (382 horsepower) and is proud of it. The main reason he is so proud of it is that it trumps my BMW 528i (230 hp).

In fact he is so proud of it that he has been sending me emails and IMs boasting of his ride's superior power. Steve likes to drive fast. Life is perfect. Sunshine, friends, happiness. Not a care in the world... or so he thinks
