What a stupid article. The accompanying photographs aren't even of cars he actually owned. They're just a bunch of random shots from the web that match the year/model of the cars.

And the ones "it's weird he didn't own"? Based on nothing but the writer's own bullshit opinion. He went out and found a bunch of pictures of purple cars and said, "Prince should have owned this one." Who says?

So lame.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

i actually found the writer to be quite correct with the facts.

He wrote it for car lovers who might be curious as to what Prince drove.

First paragraph, perfect!:

"Prince was one of the most popular ... entertainers around. When we lost him in 2016 at the young age of 57, it was devastating. He was one of the most charismatic, enigmatic, and eclectic performers of all time. He was a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and filmmaker. The petite, five-foot three-inch firecracker had more oomph and allure than people three times his size. He was known for his wide vocal range, extravagant and flamboyant style, and his skill on the guitar, piano, drums, bass, and keyboards."

Nice, thanks!

So many people forget that cars have personalities and attachments to their owners. I'm sure that many of those cars meant something to Prince, or to someone he loved or knew.

As far as pictures of the actual vehicles Prince owned, Google "Prince's 1985 Cadillac Limousine" or "Prince's 1964 Buick Wildcat" and see what comes up.

What is new or perfect about constantly saying he was short, along with lots of overused adjectives? Nobody is 3 times his size. I'm with Genesia - lame.

The white car next to the powder blue one- is it a 1969 Chevelle? That was my very first car!!! Mine was orange with a black vinyl top and interior. Loved that car!!

So glad that he liked bike riding like I do. It always takes me back to my childhood and puts a smile on my face. Do you notice that most of them appear to be women's bicycles? I am going to guess why. He was short in stature like me, and it is sometimes hard to get on a man's bike with that bar across the middle. OK that is my theory, I am sticking with it. Anyhow, thanks for posting , Penny. Where do you guys come up with a photo for every topic!?
