Lamborghini as wall art?
Newport Beach millionaire Richard Moriarty has a thing for exotic art. How else to explain the fact that the Californian's gone and mounted a 1974 Lamborghini Countach onto a wall in his home?
No small operation, the Italian supercar was hoisted into place by a five-man crew using a 70-ton crane. The Countach's engine has been separated from Moriarty's new wall hanging, and now serves as a coffee table.
Check out the LA Times' photo gallery of the installation process here.

Couldn't the guy have it cleaned before dropping it in the house?
I was once in a house where a Indy sponsor had three race cars in his den, one hanging on top of the other on the floor. They were former Indy cars but they were spotless.

"I wanted to stencil tire marks on the wall"
What a maroon! Yeah, and some purple neon to accentuate its shape.

Interviewed later that day he declared: "Who needs good taste when you are THIS rich?"
The coffee table is a nice touch too.
