We are Pley affiliates and as such receive free PleyBoxes for Nat Geo Kids, Mystery Disney Princess and now the Hot Wheels PleyBox. Our opinions are out own.

We’ve been looking forward to this Hot Wheels Pleybox for some time now. It is the newest box and it is so much fun. Inside there are some great Hot Wheels items. This first box came with 4 cars, a track builder playset, 3 feet of orange track, an exclusive tshirt and an activity book. The PleybBox itself can be used for some special stunts, too. Some of the cars inside are early access. I also loved the design of the tshirt. Andrew did, too because he wanted to put it on immediately. He had a great time playing with this bx and I hope it reignites his excitement of Hot Wheels. Check out the video below. I misspoke about the price of the monthly subscription. It is $24.95 a month (+ $5 Shipping) or $22.99 a month (+ $5 Shipping) for a 6 month subscription. You can sign up through our Hot Wheels Pleybox affiliate link.

For the past week we have had a beautiful Mazda 6 Grand Touring sedan to drive around. It was red and was a perfect Christmas sleigh for us to do all of our holiday events. We were loaned the car to use for the week so that we could use it in the real work and tell you about our experiences. These are our opinions.

After driving the Mazda 6 for a week and doing all of our last minute Christmas errands we had a day where we could take a road trip and really get a good feel for the car. So, we decided that we would drive down to the Cape to visit my grandparents. We hadn’t seen them during the holiday and so we called them up and planned to come down, pick up lunch and have a visit. Before we went to their place we stopped at my parent’s house and picked up a few things for another upcoming trip. It was there that I decided to take the above photo. Hopefully, it doesn’t show much of the road salt from driving in New England after it snows. This is always a problem for me when I check out a car because they always get a day into the loan and the snow, sand and salt comes. It is hard to take good photos when the region’s weather is out to thwart you. Continue reading Holiday Road Tripping in the Mazda 6 Grand Touring
