This Lamborghini hauls...goats

We've seen Lamborghinis tow stuff before, but never live animals and never with a Murcielago.

When you're looking for a good work vehicle, you have many things to consider. Interior comfort is on the list, but towing and hauling capabilities are certainly more important. This is why folks buy trucks to do their dirty work. It's typically not why someone would buy a Lamborghini Murcielago.

That's not stopping one owner from putting his Lambo to work. Recently, a YouTube member with the YouTube name Joseph Criniti uploaded a video showing a Murcielago towing a trailer. Inside said trailer you see a pair of live goats. Mr. Criniti added a soundtrack as well: Limp Bizkit's "Rollin."

We've seen Lamborghinis tow stuff before, but never live animals and never with a Murcielago.

We're guessing that this is a first-generation Murcielago, which means it was built between 2001 and 2006. That also means there's a 6.2-liter V-12 engine out back, which makes 572 horsepower. It's capable of pushing the car from 0-62 mph in under four seconds, but we're sure that time is affected with the goats and trailer in tow.

Just under 4,100 Murcielagos were built. We have to believe the number of those that have towed anything is less than 10. Still, you work with the tools you're given and it seems this owner had a trailer, a pair of goats, a Lamborghini, and needed to move said goats.

There's also a chance that we're dealing with a damn fine fake Lamborghini. It looks real enough to our eyes, but it's certainly possible that it's not.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
