Carson Beck helped lift Georgia football to a 12-0 regular season record last year. The quarterback seemed to contemplate leaving Athens, but he ultimately decided to return for another run with the Bulldogs.
When Beck arrived at Georgia's football complex on Tuesday, his flashy new vehicle, a Lamborghini Uros Performante, was a hot topic. A 2023 version of the vehicle starts at approximately $260,000. The price can surpass $300,000 if a buyer selects certain add-ons.
Beck created a stir when he posted a photo of the luxury vehicle during the offseason. Shortly after the photo made it rounds across social media, several questions also began to surface.

"I mean, yeah, it's not a big deal at all in my opinion. It's like I said. I love cars. I got a car. That's really all it is," Beck said. "Obviously a lot of people are going to look at it and say what a terrible decision, what a terrible choice with his money. But it's just a car. It's not too big of a deal. I just drive it around."
