Ha... I am the banker, I am not familiar with the tire size, but I will try to find out for you.

And I cannot chat online now (underwriting the Mega Million $$$ deals now ) - 2:00pm, just went to pick up my lunch at subway. Check your e-mail. Do you like my models ?

Yes, rubbing for sure. I just checked with my friend's E500. He has Brabus VI 20" on w/o lowering & fender rolling. He said that when he has 2 people in the car, it began to rubbing the fenders. If you wanna lower your car, 19" is a better choice & you can save some $$$

Hm... OK, then put them on first, if there is rubbing, roll the fenders when you lower your car. W/ 20", your E will look nice Post some pictures when you are done.

I havent decided to buy that yet since I'm still reasearching whether those sizes are fit into my car.. coz I'm not sure about it... and the 2nd problem is the price for those wheels I mentioned above.. they are pretty pricey.. so I'm still thinkin about it eventho it'd fit into my car... and to be honest your offer earlier wasnt bad at all.. so I'm lookin foward to talk to your friend... eventho I havent get his email till now....:o

You're not kidding, are you ? The way you speak and write doesn't leave any impression that you have anything to do w/ bank at all, not to mention banker who works on multi-millions deals.

:o I don't think the system architect w/ McDonald work experience can easily understand how the $150+ million deal works When we are busy, we work w/o sleep, when we are done w/ the deal, we work 2 hours a day

"I am THE banker, woking on multi-million dollars deal" .

Want to hear something even funnier ? How about "I don't think THE system architect .....blablabla....".

Hmmm, wonder how the contract for the deal will be drafted.

Empty barrel makes loud noise ???? FYI, most (if not all) successful people have one thing in comon: most start out from a humble life, and are very modest.

Thanks for a good laugh.
