Don't see many T-Birds like this one!


When Mantis was on the road in Lynnwood, WA. the other day it couldn't help but capture this beauty of a ride. This Thunderbird just hummed on the road. Was there a flaw on this classic beauty? Not at all!
Do the Rodzreaders notice Jimbo's Family Restaurant in the background? Most locals should recognize this landmark family diner. It's been around for years. Have any rodders been there before?


Tbird HQ is a place for Thunderbird and classic car fans to take in.

Check out the ride that Mantis spotted!


When the sun comes out-the cool cars arrive. Mantis was able to capture this beauty of a Camaro in Lynnwood, WA. just as the driver was walking away. Unfortunately Mantis was unable to get the scoop on this awesome muscle car, but hopefully the driver will fill the rodzreaders in on the goods. A picture of the engine and a better description of the car would be appreciative! Thanks for allowing Mantis to take a picture of your car. Hey all of you Camaro fans check out Fire Wheel Classics for a great site.

Mantis thinks this 1953 Buick is "Special."


Mantis knows that the car community is a tight group, but the world is also small. Chuck allowed us to photo his sweet ride. When he saw the Mantis business card, he recognized the "Praying Mantis" right away! He even said that he rebuilt one of our member's engines-"Silver55"s '55 Chevy. Sure is a small world indeed. Mantis found out that Chuck and his wife belong to a local Buick club. They just got back from a meeting when we found him refueling in Lynnwood, WA. He also owned a well known auto parts store for over 30 years. We look forward to Chuck becoming a Mantis Rodz member so that he can tell us his stories and share his club with other Mantis Rodz members. Thanks Chuck! Rodzreaders check out this Roadsters site.

Mantis spotted an awesome BUG!


Mantis sure digs this VW Bug. It was spotted in the Alderwood Mall parking lot in Lynnwood, WA. Does anyone recognize this fun ride? Mantis still thinks that it's a "cooler bug" though! Everyone remembers the movie "Herbie" and playing "slug bug" in the car while going on trips. Mantis hopes to see some more VW Beetles and would like to see some VW Buses too. Take a peek at this Old VW Bug site.
