The Legend Who Saved His E30 M3 From Hurricane Matthew Is Helping Raise Money For Disaster Relief
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last couple of weeks, you’ll have heard about Randy Jalil - the bonafide legend who saved his BMW E30 M3 from the anger of Hurricane Matthew by parking it in his living room.
His Instagram posts went viral and were reported on all over the world, which had a dramatic effect on his follower count. When Petrolicious tracked him down for an interview, he mentioned that he’d gained about 15,000 followers, but the best part is he’s decided to use his newfound fame for good.
He and another individual designed a T-shirt based on one of the now-famous Instagram pictures and are now selling the shirts, donating the profits for disaster relief efforts in Haiti, a country hit hard by the hurricane. “I’m almost at 30,000 followers because of that [the coverage of his posts], so what I want to do is to spin it to something positive,” he said.
Randy, your legendary status is now set in stone.

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

At least the Huracan is gone know
The Huracan probably took out (a) few (vent)s (a)nd (door)s.
He will protect other M3s that need shelter of course.
Who else is gonna buy one?
From now on when there’s rain outside I will drive the car through the front door
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
He was just trying to stop the rust.
Give this man a legend award.
what about a cookie
that guy was so useful directing him straight backwards
Normally bimmer drivers are jerks, but man this guy deserves a medal.
Look. I don’t even know how it started. But let’s be honest jerks usually drive BMW. Second thing is, they usually don’t crash into crowds. The third thing is, it’s not the brand that define who you are, you define how they see the brand. That is it. I got used to it. I was the “douchebag Mercedes guy” just because i can afford it and others in my village can’t, and now i am the “douchebag BMW guy” who could afford a BMW and can maintain it properly.
Normally “new bimmer” drivers are jerks. The classic guys are always nice.
