Nov 30 2007Man Hangs Lamborghini On His Wall
Some rich-ass named Richard Moriarty (which seems strangely appropriate) hung his 1974 Lamborghini on a wall in his home. He claims he was tired of having it towed "because the engine kept stalling". Now when my car stalls I typically think of 1. coasting it into a lake, or 2. getting it fixed by a mechanic. Apparently Dick wasn't familiar with these options and had a 70-ton crane lower the bitch through a skylight in his house. Nice try buddy, but I've have car-art for years. Beat a shit-brown 1978 Ford Pinto Station Wagon hanging on your living room wall. I've had that thing up for years. So long I think the homeless guy in it finally died. It's starting to stink.

What a perfectly good waste of an amazing car. Shoot, if he doesn't want it, I'll take it...I'd take that thing apart and fix it, or save up and get a new engine...Such stupidity from this man.

Oh, you fucking bastard. That is the car I said I would own one day when I was a kid. I still hope to, so as not to make a liar out of my young self. I would go to town on him with a spool of soldering wire.

i'm sure his wife is thrilled with his 8 year old boy notions of interior decorating.

I think you mean 1984, not 1974... Don't think they made them in '74

Actually 1974 was the first year of production, they made them up till 1990.

Actually looking at the photos this must be at least a '78 LP400S model or have been modified to look like one with wider wheels and arches and the addition of a spoiler.

It's hard to look at this becuase it's so far from reality for me.
