Purpose and goal of this website is to provide our community  with an insight into the Rod Benders Car Club and to keep active club members informed of club events and activities. But first, an overview, if you will, of the Rod Benders in the macro ...

Our club was formed in 1999 and formally chartered in 2000. We have a strong affiliation with eight car clubs in surrounding communities. The Rod Benders are in the hub position, hence naming our annual local car show each June the Borders 3 Jamboree.

Ours is a "working" club ...  we drive our cars to shows and events throughout Idaho, Montana, Washington and British Columbia. The Rod Benders cars put some rubber on the road and in spite of the hazards of driving a lot of miles, our cars still bring home awards and accolades wherever we attend.

Club Official Business meeting night is the second  Wednesday of each month at 5:30 pm in the Chic 'N Chop Restaurant located just south of Bonners Ferry on Highway 95.  You'll find several club members gathered each and every Wednesday just to enjoy the strong camaraderie that prevails in our club at the Chic 'N Chop or some other spontaneous cruise site.

We hope you enjoyed your visit to our website ...
