Hotwire.com Car Rental unbelievable deal ($11.95 a day)

Wow, this is an amazing deal.
I always thought deals like this are a scam to get you to click to their site and never thought I would get a deal like this until I gave it a try recently. And I'm glad I did.
Just want to share with everyone. I think it depends on when and where you rent the car from.

    Comments: They have a long list of dishes in their menu and sell tons of take out stuff at the cashier at very low price especially when you buy 3 or more items. Their Canh Chua Ca (Viet fish hot and sour soup) used to be very good but they made it too sour the last few times I tried. Their Cá kho tộ is still good.

Note:
This list is no way complete as I have not yet had the opportunity to try all the restaurants in the Dallas Fort Worth area. I'll be adding more as soon as I found good restaurants.
You may have noticed that for a restaurant, I usually only list one or two dishes. The reason is to most Vietnamese, a restaurant can only do a few good dishes. If anyone claims they can cook ALL Vietnamese dishes good, I would assume they don't know how to cook :-).
