Some millionaires decorate their mansions with rare paintings. Richard Moriarty bolted a 1974 Lamborghini Countach to the wall of his Newport Beach estate, reports the LA Times. Earlier, the car’s engine was removed and transformed into a “200-mph coffee table” for guests who prefer their drinks “shaken not stirred,” said Moriarty. While some automotive purists may cringe at the thought of using a Lambo in this way, Moriarty’s reasoning is somewhat understandable. Moriarty bought the car 10 years ago, paying a collector $60,000. But the upkeep was a nightmare — the gas tank had rust damage, and the engine kept stalling. “I got tired of having it towed,” he said.
