"There's nothing wrong with being rich and famous and driving a sensible, older car <3"

Nothing sensible about him driving this car. In fact, its pretty stupid. What is he trying to prove? Sure he doesn't have to have a 100,000 dollar car because flashy is not the issue here, its safety so driving an older car like this when you have more than enough money to buy a safe car is flatout dumb. I hate to be harsh but a 60k performance car (bmw,mercedeez) wouldn't have flipped as easily...

Its always a shame when people get injured but its really a shame when peoples injuries could have easily been prevented or lessened if they didn't made the right decisions.

8/4/2008 4:04:33 PM

Morgan freeman being a wealthy man probably actually maintains that car pretty fuckin well

"Because he's black?"

He was probably driving it because it was mechanically sound, low mileage, and veiwed it as a tool rather than status symbol. It would be a waste of money to buy a newer one, when he could spend it on his sail boat (if you didn't know, he's got a hella nice yacht and is a hell of a sailor).

[Edited on August 4, 2008 at 11:31 PM. Reason : I bet it looked new too]

8/4/2008 11:30:41 PM

why didnt he save his money and buy an older boat then?

MORGAN FREEMAN DON'T YOU uhh get divorced from me (?)

"Lawyer: Morgan Freeman, wife getting divorced Story Highlights- Actor, wife of 24 years Myrna Colley-Lee getting divorced, lawyer said Actor veered off the road Sunday a few miles from his home in Mississippi Car belonged to passenger Demaris Meyer, 48, of Memphis, Tennessee Rescuers used a jaws-of-life machine to free Freeman and Meyer JACKSON, Mississippi (AP) -- Morgan Freeman's lawyer says the actor and his wife of 24 years are getting a divorce. A hospital spokeswoman said Wednesday that actor Morgan Freeman was still listed in serious condition. Freeman's lawyer, Bill Luckett, told the Memphis Commercial-Appeal newspaper that the divorce action is pending. Freeman's wife is Myrna Colley-Lee. The lawyer declined to provide details. There was no answer early Thursday at phone numbers for Luckett or for Freeman's publicist. The 71-year-old actor is recovering in a Memphis hospital after a car crash in neighboring Mississippi on Sunday left him with a broken arm, broken elbow and shoulder damage. The woman who was injured along with Freeman in the car accident apparently is a friend of the Oscar-winning actor who had offered him a ride home, a crash witness says. Freeman was driving a 1997 Nissan Maxima that authorities said belongs to Demaris Meyer, 48, of Memphis, Tennesee, when the car veered off a rural road Sunday night a few miles from Freeman's home in the Mississippi Delta. The car flipped at least twice. Bill Rogers, a retired police officer who was the first person to arrive at the scene, said a dazed Freeman told him that he and Meyer were headed to his home in Charleston, a small town some 90 miles south of Memphis. "He said that she had offered him a ride home; that they were friends and she had offered him a ride home and she didn't really know the way and so he was going to drive the vehicle," Rogers said Tuesday, recalling a conversation he had with the actor. Luckett told the Commercial Appeal newspaper that Meyer is the actor's friend. Rogers said he talked to Freeman and Meyer in attempt to keep them conscious -- something he was trained to do as a police officer. "They said they were coming from Clarksdale," Rogers said. Freeman owns several businesses in Clarksdale, about 40 miles from his home, including the Ground Zero Blues Club and a restaurant named Madidi. Ashley Norris, the club's manager, said Wednesday that Freeman had not been there the night of the accident. No one answered the phone at Madadi. Rescuers used a jaws-of-life machine to free "The Dark Knight" star and Meyer from the wreckage. Freeman was airlifted to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, Tennessee. Hospital spokeswoman Kathy Stringer said Wednesday that Freeman had been upgraded to fair condition. The actor had surgery Monday to reconnect nerves and repair damage to his left arm and hand, according to his publicist, Donna Lee. Lee said Freeman will make a full recovery. Hospital officials say Meyer isn't listed in the hospital's registry. However, under medical privacy laws, people can request that their names not be listed as patients at a hospital. A Mississippi Highway Patrol officer said Meyer was in the Tennessee hospital when the agency called to see how she and Freeman were doing Monday night. Calls to Meyer's home Wednesday were not answered. Her condition was not immediately available. Rogers said Meyer did not appear to be injured as severely as Freeman. Not much is known about Meyer. Rogers said she appeared to be an avid gardener -- a hobby reportedly enjoyed by Freeman and his wife -- because several gardening tools were flung around the accident scene when the car's trunk was ripped open by the impact. Freeman won an Oscar for his role in "Million Dollar Baby." His screen credits also include "Driving Miss Daisy" and "The Bucket List.""
