Tracy Morgan bought a $2MM Bugatti, then promptly got in a minor accident

Gotta say, if I’m driving my Bugatti on Day 1, ain’t no way I’m dealing with Manhattan traffic. Those things are meant to be explored at high speeds.

Sounds like a 30 Rock episode.

Sold his EGOT for the Bugatti.

I just don’t get the appeal in cars that expensive.
I can see having some classic cars. But brand new cars like that, I don’t get it.

Yep. If I was a billionaire, I don't think I'd buy one. I'd have a nice car or truck, and it would be not older than one or two years old, but just give me a pickem up truck and a nice Benz to take the lovely and talented wife out to special places in and I'd be happy.

Yep, all I want my car to do is get me from point a to point b as safely and economically as possible.

You don't buy cars like that unless you can scrape up 6+ figures from the spare change under the cushions of your couch.

Or if you won the lottery and want to make sure you're bankrupt in five years.

I mean, it’s NYC, ffs. What did he expect? It’s the one place all new cars can go to be deflowered.

He did get an undisclosed settlement from WM. I think its undisclosed. I'm pretty sure its more than any of us here would get.

Nasty accident. I’m guessing he got trash cans of money.

Everyone likes their toys or collectibles. Cars, motorcycles, guns, electronics.... .When you can afford crazy expensive exotic toys, they're kinda fun to have. I'm sure most everyone that has these also has the very nice Sedan or SUV for practical purposes too.

Growing up I always loved cars and especially the Ferrari. Now that I am in my 40's I have lost the desire to own something that I will have to worry about parking, to have some inconsiderate asshole open his or her door into mine. My neighbor who moved recently had an obscene exotic car collection. He ended up moving to a house in the country with more garage space. I would pass his house and wonder how much he spends monthly on car insurance alone. This is just one of his garages
