SUIT UP

Exercises for Gentlemen

It happens. You wake up in Marrakesh with nothing but a suit, a headache and an insatiable desire to exercise. That's where this book comes in—it will teach you 50 different ways to stretch, lift and generally give your body a workout, while wearing formal garb. And should you choose to indulge in the occasional bit of sans-clothes relaxation, there's also a chapter on sponge baths.

The monkey brains from Temple of Doom not included... yet.

The Ferrari from Ferris Bueller Goes Up for Sale

In a co-starring role as itself, this Ferrari was quite possibly the most lust-worthy part of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. (A possible tie with Mia Sara.) And now, it can be yours, at auction, for a scant $67,000. Just be warned: they ran it backwards to lower the mileage.
