Prince's Car..two part question

1. Does anybody know what cars prince has or has in the past?

2. I'm a 20 yr old college student with a 39k a yr income. If prince was in my shoes, what car would her buy?


I am about to buy a new car in the next couple of months. I seen how prince's motorcycle in purple rain was "his vechicle" that fit him. I just wanted the org's insight on some cars that could fit my personality and price range 300-600$ month car payment.

My personality is a mix between prince's shyness and his passion for women. And Morris day's cockyness and showing off. It just depends what mood i'm in, overall I'm more like prince.

Thanks

I'd say there are 3 cars that are heavily associated with Prince.

A red Corvette (obviously). A white Thunderbird (from Under the Cherry Moon, Alphabet Street song, Lovesexy tour) and the canary yellow BMW from the Sexy MF video in the parking lot.

I've also seen photos of Prince with a purple Prowler, a custom made hot rod type car.

Other than that, I suggest if you wanna feel like Prince, you buy a limousine and have a driver drive you everywhere!

Interestingly, in The Vault book it casually mentions that Prince once had a car accident - apparently the car ended up on it's roof in a ditch! Call me old fashioned, but in the UK that's a serious accident - it might have even ended up on the local news...

I remember seeing him on one show back in the late 1980s, getting out of a Cadillac.

IIRC, that was the Thunderbird that he crashed.

When I visited Paisly Park (parking lot) I saw a BMW Z3 with "Mayte" on the plates. This was approximately 2-3 years ago. I got as far as the back entrance when I was politely escorted off the property.

You were trespassing on private property?
