Automotive

Shopping for a Chevy and love Daytona International Speedway? Take delivery at the famous oval for a cool $990.

Jordan Belfort’s Ferrari Testarossa is now for sale. The conman’s financial rise and fall was chronicled in Martin Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street. Belfort’s habits were less than pure, but this Testarossa has 8,300 miles on the odometer and is 100 percent Italian stallion.

Gear

It’s no secret that Navy SEALs are seriously fit. Check out Mark Divine’s 8 Weeks to Sealfit book to get in shape like the military’s finest.

Lifestyle

Today’s beer pick takes us to Santa Rosa and Russian River Brewing Company. The Imperial IPAs, especially Pliny The Elder, are unreal.

If you live on the coast, New England especially, chances are you have at least one nautical belt. Don’t fight your inner prepster; check out the awesome rope belts from Bonobos.
