No you have never met me. Since 2003 I have had an EVOIX, a bunch of s13/s14's and just recently let go of my E46 M3.
I had been lurking for a long time, I like to read up on different cars, not just one brand. So anyway, 5 years later I am here.
I bought a Z on friday and it is sitting in my driveway waiting for the Lien to be released from the previous owner.
Yea I started with like 3 posts a day ago or something. My daily post count must be .0002 per day =p.
Side note:
Pho Saigon 54 in Laurel has only been around for a year and makes pretty good Pho and other rice dishes. I like to support the locals.

Further up. It is near the new shopping center on route 1 and Contee RD. There is a Longhorn, Applebees, Starbucks, Cold Stone and some other restaurants.
If I were not going to Mexico this weekend I would set something up. =p
- Thanks for the welcome.

Rule number 1 for eating Pho... Don't take it home. I like the place in Beltsville, Pho 87 I think. Next to Petco on Rt 1. I've never really been dissapointed by any of the local spots though. The one across from Costco is good also, a little more upscale looking, cash only.
Home made is great though, my girlfriend's mom makes it pretty regularly.

I have not been to Pho 87 in Beltsville, but the one across from Costo is pretty good but it only has Pho, no rice dishes.
My personal favorite Pho in MD is the Pho Hiep Hoa in Wheaton. One other goods one are in Langley Park, Pho 95 in Rockville and the Pho 75 across from MC.

OP, noodles in any broth end up sucking it up and getting funky, never do wet noodles to go.
You clearly have never been to NVA.
As far as the Pho place in Laurel, it is better then I ever expected, even more so since it's run by Chinese people. If you ever want to learn how to doll the pho up so it taste right, come out with me, lihn (gf who is viet) and charles, we're both pretty close to laurel. just give us a day and time.
Another option, if you guys want to do a meet, my GF's mom is a chef at a viet joint in springfield. we could always do a meet up there one weekend.
not only do they have good pho there but also everything else on the menu is good, that can't be said about a lot of pho places.
I'm not sure if this is true but from what I've heard Pho sucks everywhere else except for Los Angeles.

I have good and bad Pho in LA... Better Pho in Little Saigon in OC....
I guess the Laurel Place is owned by Chinese but run by Vietnamese... I know they play Paris by Night videos, but I have heard almost everyone in there speak Vietnamese and my friend has spoken to a few of them in Vietnamese.
