Jun 4 2009Rolls Royce: Now With Automatic Purse Rack

The new Rolls Royce 200EX has an automatic purse holder. And no, it's not the floor (although those work great too and come standard in most cars). There's a video after the jump that you have to see to believe, but basically a little gripper arm automatically tightens against the purse to ensure your diamonds and gold bars don't fall out during travel. It's stupid. Because when I'm rich enough for a Rolls Royce I'll be damned if I'm carrying my own purse. No, it will be traveling in it's own Rolls Royce. Inside a diamond airplane. Made of platinum. Don't question my logic, peasant.
Hit the jump for a short video of the 'just another thing to break' in action.
What recession? Rolls Royce 200EX auto-gripping purse holder [dvice]

I think this is pretty clever... I hate putting my purse on the floor, it usually rolls around when i turn, and it's not easy to grab it. wish all cars had this device...

that limo is for my servants who will be handling my handbag.. while i ride in a gold platted hoover craft directly above them with 7 holographic virgins...
4. you know who - June 4, 2009 10:00 AM

Ya see, it's important stuff like this that GM neglected to focus on.
8. naas - June 4, 2009 10:15 AM
Meh, I'll never see one (a purse, not a rolls) so no need to care.
Good morning GW, Ollie, Shumway, LSD, Chica, Pew, Timbo, Catch & all you geeko readers out there. It's warm & sunny here today and that makes for a happy morning naas right here at your findertips

Good morning my other sexy ass regulars. You know who you are, and I love you all as if you were my step son. I say step son because, well, let's be honest, I'd like to molest you when I come home from the bar hammered every Thursday. Ahh the memories... DON'T HIT ME DADDY! NOOOOO!
Ahem.. sorry folks.
Today's forecast is low 80's with a chance of suppressed childhood memories that may or may not induce me going postal here at work because I can't want Vimeo movies.

Don't judge me. I got drunk last night for rizzle. Work at 6 AM sucks with a hangover.

My little sister(at age 13) said it was too small. Now that either says something about the size (obviously) or todays generation.

Chimp tries to be funny, and fails quite impressively.
BRAVO, MY SON

And they still don't have a cup holder big enough for my 40oz Steel Reserve.
I bet the rack could hold a six pack, though.
24. Pew³ - June 4, 2009 11:58 AM
Good morning all. I don't know the weather here. Us San Diegans only watch weather reports as a hobby. It doesn't change enough here to have a real affect on us.
I see the sun and sky, its warm but not hot. I dunno, high 70's low 80's maybe.
25. kreebilicus - June 4, 2009 12:05 PM
that is undeniably the worst and most pointless thing i've ever seen. in the universe. and i've seen most of it. except canada. i have been to bulgaria, though.
ironically, my life is much the better for seeing it, as i suspect the lives of most others reading this post are now. what's that saying?

Fück you people! I'm hungover too, Ollie. Fück it. I'm going to Skyline. Coneys fix everything.
27. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - June 4, 2009 12:27 PM
P.S.
It's chilly and raining in Cincinnati. Weak!

It's partly cloudy here in southern California! Orange County to be exact where it isn't exactaly a rare thing to see a Rolls drive past you! But yeah, rich people are running out of ideas to spend their money on. That purse holder probably costs $20k more than the model without it LOL!

Actually, GM already has vehicles with purse holders. It's a retractable hook on the center console from which you hang your purse. RR just made theirs more complicated and bulkier.
34. Nero - June 4, 2009 5:35 PM
I never carry a purse but it's very thoughtfull of Rolls Royce.
35. Watch-303 - June 4, 2009 6:59 PM
just another thing to show off
36. GRAMMARNAZI - June 4, 2009 8:08 PM
@33
Ok, but I wuz being sarcastic, I don't actually believe that this would have changed dick for GM. Thanks for the history lesson.
37. Ratttiemama - June 4, 2009 9:04 PM
This is freaking brilliant. I have been wanting this feature on a car for years. I don't care what ya'll say, keeping your purse on the floor is a pain in the ass.
38. GRAMMARNAZI - June 4, 2009 9:12 PM
Sitting on your purse would be more of a pain in the ass.
39. Starby - June 4, 2009 11:29 PM
Finally! I always tell my friends there should be some area in a car to actually store your purse!
Current options:
1. floor, tangled in your passenger's feet
2. back seat, where you can't reach it, and it's likely to roll and spill
3. on the console, where it gets in way of gear shift
yeah, you boys laugh, but when it's time for me to purchase my next car, you can bet it's gonna be, well, a Toyota or something 'cuz I still can't afford a Rolls . . .

@ 36
GRAMMARNAZI you're too stoned (is that possible?) @33 was being sarcastic too......yes, others have learned that skill as well. See? I just used it right there!
41. GRAMMARNAZI - June 5, 2009 10:32 AM
Unequivocally possible
