RIP Robert Himler - Dead at 24
*Sorry if this is a repost, didn't see anything on this*
My guess is the majority of people on here won't know who this guy was, but I thought I would post here as he was a bit of an internet celebrity with his YouTube videos featuring "his" cars. Anyways, Robert Himler died of cancer on April 22nd. The guy wasn't well liked, but no one deserves to go at such a young age, especially not from cancer. I didn't care much for the guy and certainly didn't know him but he had some pretty entertaining YouTube videos featuring "his" cars (whether they be owned by him or his parents car dealership). Here's the link to his YouTube channel with all his videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/RobertHimler |

He had a YouTube page at 18 years old featuring his UGR Gallardo and got a ton of YouTube followers. He went on to "write" an ebook on how to be successful like him, started a couple websites, and made more videos with more cars he and his girlfriend supposedly bought (GTR, R8, Murcielago, McLaren, etc). There was a ton of talk on car forums on whether or not he was BS and someone did some digging and posted some pretty damning evidence claiming his parents were well off, owned a car dealership which is where all "his" cars were owned and registered to, and basically his "self made" claims were BS lies. So in other words, they made him look like the spoiled rich kid/liar/ scammer that he likely was.
Either way, whatever the truth, his videos were entertaining, his GF is hot, and he had access to some very nice cars. Beyond his videos I dont care much for him, though as said before, no one deserves to die of cancer especially at 24 YO. TL;DR version: he was a YouTube celebrity that made tons of car videos. Unless you knew his channel and followed him you probably wont know who he is. He was much more well known on the Lambo forums. |

The way he drove on the street, it was only a matter of time before he went one way or the other. I'm just glad nobody was hurt from this guy. 190 on public roads, good grief.

I don't care about him or his story. But what I car about is that he was 24 and died from cancer. Worse is that he is not the only one to die from cancer at such a young age.
F*ck society for having created cancer and all the other health problems. |

It's actually global warming that causes cancer...

Which is why he's declared war on Global Warming. I heard him say it at West Point last year.
