A sled as a coffee table in your living room is going to leave tracks on your carpet, so why not get this set that includes a snow white carpet with sled marks already built into it? That small detail will give an outdoor feel to your living room, though it may also give kids the idea that dragging it around the living room is perfectly okay.

I’m sure this is what the manufacturer of Continental radial engines had in mind when they designed and built these in the 30’s. Rather than powering an antique aircraft, this “pristinely restored ” engine is now available as a limited edition coffee table and conversation piece for your home, office or hangar with a nicely polished splined propeller shaft as your centerpiece. A limited edition stripped down Jacobs radial engine is also available with exposed pistons and crankshaft. A photo is available after the break.
Chances are you will never own an actual Bugatti or Rolls-Royce, so you may have to settle for some Hot Wheels and/or one of these unique grille-themed coffee tables. You could probably make one for yourself with a black mask and a crowbar—but I strongly advise against it. Additional images are available after the break.
With the damage caused by hurricanes Gustav and Ike in the news lately, there is no better time to talk about how important it is to be prepared for a natural disaster. First-aid kits and flashlights are no brainers, but what about a coffee table that doubles as a lifeboat? It seems like a great idea in a flood—except that the “Nautical Dory” doesn’t look like it could handle more than a 50 pound payload.
