Last month, 30 Rock star Tracy Morgan got into a fender bender with his recently acquired 2012 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport. Earlier this week the comedian was spotted driving down Broadway near 57th street with his repaired ride.
Morgan’s pre-owned Bugatti Veyron is priced at a cool 2 million. Now after the crash, the car’s resale value is estimated to have plunged by as much as $200,000. It’s easy to see why Morgan probably wasn’t too thrilled with the driver that drove into his new ride.

Not the Best for Day of Bugatti Ownership for Morgan
Morgan had purchased his used Veyron at Manhattan Motorcars on June 4th. What happened next is every new car buyer’s worst nightmare: a car accident on the first day of ownership. This happened to Morgan when a Honda CRV crashed into his new car on West 42nd Street and 10th Avenue. He had only had the car for a few hours.
Typically known as a funny man on T.V., morgan was not laughing when the accident occurred. His reaction was fairly over the top and definitely contained the kind of human frustration we usually hope is not caught on camera. Unfortunately for Morgan, cameras were rolling and caught his outburst on film.
Repair estimates for Morgan’s 2012 Bugatti Veyron are in the neighborhood of $32,000.
