"ToyDeathbot" (ToyDeathbot)
11/23/2013 at 04:23 • Filed to: gimmi

I just found out about the Gimmi saga and now I miss his dumps. I know, I'm a bit behind with the news :( Hope he comes back in a newer form some time soon! And if you are already back (under a different name), you better put some vintage racing pics up!

just a whole lot less frequent (without replying to most comments) and mainly on FP or other Gawker sites

Shameful, that was. He's the only one I've ever added to my 'follow' list, and that alone should say enough.

I'm the Joker.

We're supposed to be fighting each other right now aren't we?

MtrRider Just Wants Doritos > ToyDeathbot
11/23/2013 at 05:32

What's the point? We both know I'm going to win.

ToyDeathbot > MtrRider Just Wants Doritos
11/23/2013 at 05:42

But you haven't shown any SR20 and neither have I. We may be something else.

MtrRider Just Wants Doritos > ToyDeathbot

I think you're a Lambo, dude.

ToyDeathbot > MtrRider Just Wants Doritos
11/23/2013 at 05:47

And you're a Miata? It's the answer to everything right?

MtrRider Just Wants Doritos > ToyDeathbot
11/23/2013 at 05:59

Well the Miata is the answer to every question, so if you ask me what I am I have to answer Miata. But I was always been told I wasn't a Miata, I was something else.... I forget what I am now. If I am a Miata, then everything I've been told is a lie. If I'm not a Miata, everything I've been told it a lie. Maybe the Miata is purely hypothetical? Thinking about it, knowing my luck, I'd be an automatic NC that's never been driven in anger. At heart, I'm a Monster Miata. I dream about achieving S2000 status.

When Miata is the answer the world seems smaller. The universe seems smaller. More Japanese, too. I am what I need to be, nothing more nothing less... Like a good Miata.

what did I just read.

Kinja'd!!!

MtrRider Just Wants Doritos > ToyDeathbot

We just discovered the answer to life and the universe. Well, we discovered the true question, anyway. Are we human, or are we Miata?

Kinja'd!!!

ToyDeathbot > MtrRider Just Wants Doritos
11/23/2013 at 06:18

I think we're all Miata. The concept of Human Life is far too complex...

Gimmi still drops by here and there. Though I'm not sure posts like these encourage him to visit more frequently. Not saying you should take it down, but if you were him would you want to see it?

Leadbull > ToyDeathbot

The gimmidumps tapered off after the Kinja update in February. We used to be able to make ad hoc forums by changing URLs around, but this layout doesn't allow that.

jalopnik.com/gimmidump/forum was a magical land.

Also, why bring this back up now? Like Automatch said, this isn't going to encourage him.

It was originally only the first paragraph, but some people asked what happened so I added made the stuff that came after in small text (which seems to have not helped at all). I complete understand what you mean now, maybe I should just delete it?

Tom McParland > ToyDeathbot

Totally up to you, the post isn't violating any "rules" or anything but if you feel funny about it you can take it down or switch it to your blog.

I don't really want to bring this back up, but for those who know nothing about it, Gimmi was a long time member of the Oppo community who claimed that he used to work for some F1 teams (starting around the late-1990s). This lasted for a while until someone called BS for the lack of evidence he had (SR20) and the way he avoided a lot of questions. This split up Oppo into a mess where it was a nightmare for the moderators and he disappeared.

He also did some of the most amazing vintage NSFW and racing dumps, known to all as the Gimmidump.
