Does Prince drive?

Of course, he used to drive a motorcycle.
USED to.
But does Prince drive a car? I just find it a bit hard to picture...
Any inside knowledge about his current licenses?
Curious.

Yes. He currently drives a Bentley.

He's had several BMWs, a Prowler, '66 T-Bird, a '60s Riviera, among others. He's not a "Prius" kind of guy.

He had it painted gold soon after. It looked like it was painted with a roller.

This is kinda recent, if you need a visual(though I'm not sure if you need a license for these things?)

If you will, so will I

That was a bad ass 850. . . hmmm hmmm hmmm. I wanted to cry when BMW stopped making those and every time I see one on the road I think of the scene in Gangsta Glam when Prince is cruising down the street to tha club. He's such a P-I-M-P. nod

He had a bad accident once, I've read. The car ended up on its roof! But Prince was unharmed. Late 80s/early 90s sometime I think.

From what I remember, he's had:

Bentley
White '66 Thunderbird
Gold Mustang convertible
Silver BMW Z3
Purple Plymouth Prowler (I believe "Chrysler Prowler" to Europeans)
Yellow BMW 850 coupe

Not sure if the Buick Riviera was just a movie prop or not . . .

Strangely though, no red Corvette! eek (I know it's a metaphor, btw wink)

I saw him driving around Minnesota the last year of the celebration. He was checking out the crowd in front of Paisley Park.

It was in the early 90s,several months before 'Diamonds and Pearls' was released.Prince's car was completely flipped over,but he wasn't hurt at all.He walked away with barely a scratch but the car was totaled.
