MANTIS: MantisRodz stands for the proposition that designing and building rods and custom cars are best enjoyed with copious amounts of tastefully but scantily clad women, your favorite beverage, and any food with grill marks on it. As a RodzReader, you’ll come to enjoy plenty of the above – especially if you take the time to submit your favorite images.

Grub. Suds, Hounds. And, Chicks. Along with Rods, these are a few of our favorite things (though, not necessarily in that order). Submit your photos and commentary on Food, Beverages, Pets and Women. Here are a few other ideas to add to your lifestyle favorites: vacations, vaction homes, sports, rigs, choppers, boats and how about tattoos? Remember that kids play an important role on this site-and Mantis intends for this to be a suitable place for the entire family. All of these have some car-culture-connection. Blog away…

Mantis makes it out to Belfair, WA for a motorcycle ride


Ron got the bikes ready in the trailer for the journey to Belfair. The trailer houses a Honda 70 and two Honda 450 dirt bikes-with a lot of room to spare. Steve hasn't been on a motorcycle for 30+ years-and the last time he rode one-it was his Honda 50. Everyone understands that a 450 has a tad more power than a 50, but with a quick 5 minute tutorial-Steve made it to 2nd gear! We got in a little over 3 hours of riding-and the trails are unbelievable. If you haven't been on a dirt bike in a while-it's something Mantis highly recommends. Take a look at Cycle Barn for ideas of some great gear and rides.


Check out the photo of Ron, Steve and Max half way through their ride. Mantis would like to thank Nic for allowing us to video his jumps. Make sure and tell your friends you made it on Mantis Rodz Nic....Thanks!
