From TMZ:

Yeah that's a great way to spend money. Not overly extravagant at all. When was the last time he made news for giving anything to charity?

Is that an old vehicle? lol
Too cute

viewaskew said:

Again...revoke!

npggirl77 said:

Sorry. No. You have a problem with those who think overly extravagant, gas guzzling behemoths are a problem for the environment? Sucks to be you, then.

viewaskew said:

If he gave to charity in order to make the news, then you would criticize him for only giving money so he could be in the news.

Give it a rest. You don't know what he does charity-wise.

viewaskew said:

Awww, sorry. I bothered you by my post?
No, it does not suck to be me. I enjoy life.

Giovanni777 said:

Is that an old Lincoln Town Car limo? Like someone said on the TMZ board, the rims are probably worth more than the car, LOL.

But it's cool.

RodeoSchro said:

Exactly...
However, I do not know Mr. or Miss, or Mrs Viewachooooo, but I am sure other music he or she listens to is created by people that purchase extravagant things. Maybe even blinging 24 inchers...Hmmm?
*shakes my finger* Tisk tisk tisk. What is the last extravagant thing you purchaced View? OH wait....you don't purchase anything, do you?

The most pimping thing is, it's not his car. It's a limo. Forget Pimp My Ride, Prince is pimping his chauffeur!

RodeoSchro said:

I couldn't agree more. It's getting real old.

RodeoSchro said:

That's a good point.

Also, it is well known that Prince DOES give quite a bit to various charities, and like Sinatra did, he does a lot of it either anonymously, or without any publicity.

Giovanni777 said:

This is bad PR i've just made a point about this trend of bad PR in another thread ....Giovanni777 this looks like someone in Princes camp does not point out things to the man.. it looks silly and out dated...what's going on ...I like the fact he keeps a low profile ...then comes out with something good it adds to his rep but this is wack....he's using TMZ too much...he needs to go up market ....sick with the LA Times ...Prince needs to sack his PR people

LondonStyle said:

I think this here might just be a case where one of the paparazzi took a shot of his car, and just sold it 2 TMZ.

viewaskew said:

October 2008? He played a concert at the Hotel Gansevoort in New York with proceeds benefitting Taja Seville's charity that has something to do with urban farming.

Giovanni777 said:

In a 1989 Lincoln?

Giovanni777 said:

Yeah right.... we all know the game isn't played that way..

Giovanni777 said:

Right. Those love4oneanother charity concerts were ever so anonymous. As was the huge donation he gave several years ago to that school, news of which went out to virtually every media outlet that could print his silly symbol.

Prince is L.A. Glitz, glamor & shallow. Rub away the shine & there's not much there. Any news of an album spinning around on those hubcaps? I don't think so.

ItsOnlyMountains said:

Thanks. But that's like giving to a charity to shampoo elevator carpeting.

viewaskew said:

Sometimes people give anonymously and sometimes they make public. fact is unless we have his business reports none of us knows exactly how much he does or does not give to charity and what is or is not anonymous.

I like those wheels, I want them on my car!

..i wouldn't expect 2 roll anyother way!!...i can't wait till they fix these pot-holes...rolling with the 20in chrome ..butterfly doors!!..

viewaskew said:

He doesn't make news doing it, he just does it. A few examples; there was something that came out not long ago about a school he has quietly supported for a long time, he is a founder of Sheila's charity and I assume he gives to his church also.

The people who do it wrong are those who say "I'm so righteous because I gave $$$ to blahblahblah!".

..there is this lil old lady that i sometimes see in the street..i have tried 2 help her but i end up giving her some"$" and to this day everytime i do...things ALWAYS seem 2 go right..no matter how hard it can be...charities can b big and small..just knowing that u can help and it is in ur heart...mzsexybaby

LondonStyle said:

vintageheels said:

That's the reason for the comment.....well done! ...you worked that out all by yourself...

wonder505 said:

I think what matters most is that in his heart and soul Prince is trying to do the right thing and help others, but honestly why does he have to prove this to you or anybody at all.....there are rich fuckers everywhere that could give two shits about the struggling working class but we don't rip into any of those losers on a regular basis...

vintageheels said:

my statement had nothing to do with Prince proving anything to me. I was responding to someone who assumes that Prince publicizes all his donations. My point it that we will never know that so its useless making those assumptions. I personally don't care.
