Florida man took drastic steps to protect his rare BMW M3 during hurricane

This Florida man took drastic, but necessary steps to protect his rare BMW M3 during Hurricane Matthew in 2016.

When your prized possession normally lives outside and a dangerous hurricane is on its way, you might make decisions like Randy Jalil.

Jalil measured his rare car and realized that maybe his car could fit through the doors of his house.

With the help of his friend, Jalil moved his rare car and parked it in the middle of his living room behind his couch. Unsurprisingly, the pictures went viral.

He took drastic steps to protect his rare BMW M3 in a hurricane

The Sunshine State finds itself in the pathway of a lot of dramatic weather phenomena.

And while some don’t have much to lose if bad weather comes knocking, others have their most prized possessions parked on the street outside.

That was the case for Randy Jalil from Port St. Lucie in Florida.

With no garage space left, Randy Jalil didn’t know what to do with his beloved BMW E30 M3.

After a few minutes with his measuring tape, Jalil worked out he would be able to fit it inside his living room (just).

It’s more than just a possession

Jalil and his friend carefully drove the BMW M3 through the front door of Jalil’s house and parked it bang-smack in the middle of the living room.

The pictures of the BMW E30 M3 sitting behind the couch in Jalil’s living room went viral.

Luckily, the storm passed with minimal damage, and even though his car would’ve been okay outside, Jalil said he was glad he prepared for the worst.

In fact, he did it again during Hurricane Dorian in 2019.
