With wildfires ripping through the Los Angeles area right now, many have wondered what someone with a rare car collection does in such a situation. Well, one man decided to drive his to a McDonald’s parking lot in Calabasas, California and someone posted a video on TikTok of him and his buddies discovering the expensive cars just sitting out in the open.

A car YouTuber is casting a ray of hope on the Los Angeles wildfires.

When we say expensive, we’re not exaggerating even a little. The most valuable of the bunch is likely the Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, which easily would go for over $1 million if it’s real and a numbers-matching car. Just to see one of those parked at a McDonald’s would be enough to blow us away.

But that’s not all. This guy drove his Ferrari F430 to the parking lot, plus a Mercedes 190SL and a fastback Mustang. All of them look to be in pristine condition, although with ash falling in areas near the fires, they might not stay that way.

We assume the owner was coming up with a place to stash his rides that is sufficiently far enough away from danger, like maybe in Arizona. But seriously, with fires continuing to pop up randomly in the area, where would one put such a car collection to keep it safe?

In the meantime, we hope nobody messed with the guy’s cars as they sat in the parking lot. Admiring them, taking photos/video is just fine. But we know from experience there are people who will try to damage something nice just because they’re mad and jealous.

Then there are the roving gangs of looters taking advantage of the chaos. Sure, there are cameras all over the place in that parking lot, but that doesn’t stop some hardened criminals, not for one second.

The video was posted on TikTok four days ago, so we’re betting the cars have long since been moved to somewhere safe and not public.
