We had the pleasure of experiencing the Mazda 3 Grand Touring car this week — it was great. It was more than just a test-drive. It was one of those experiences that was really unforgettable.

Into every parent’s life, some #ICKIES must fall. And, let’s be honest, most of us have had enough gross ICK to last many lifetimes!
