Toyota Supra takes flight, hits another Toyota, and then lands at a Toyota dealership (literally).

How does this even happen? How does one lose control on a straight roadway? And why were all these people waiting videotaping? Any background info on this?

That's the corner of SR 60 and US 301 in Brandon, Fl.

First off, hopefully everyone is ok.

Based on the title of this post, what are the odds? Maybe it was a Toyota dealer hosting a meet up.

There goes $220,000.00.

The dealer must've trained it as a homing pigeon.

What's literal? What else could the title of this thread mean?

 

[Mr. Mac]

What's literal?

The "landing" at a "Toyota dealership."

Don't know where in the world you're from, but here in the states it's fairly common for people to say that they've "landed" or are "landing" somewhere figuratively instead of "arrived" or "arriving."

My guess is the unfortunate combination of showing off with cold tires, an automatic transmission, and possible drizzle on road (based on how sky looks).

Thankfully nobody got killed or injured (reportedly anyway).

This was in Brandon, FL earlier today, leaving a car meet.

If it took flight then it landed.
Landing means bringing something to land. Nothing figurative about that.
"Literally" is such a misued word where most of the time, it doesn't even make sense.

“took flight” is usually used figuratively as well in this respect, hence the tie-in with “landed.” Then there’s the part about “at a Toyota dealership”, all being literal in this case. The usages work here, and it’s really not that serious.

BTW, this is a Z enthusiasts’ forum, not an Oxford language study hall. Relax, and try to have fun.

Relax and have a Snickers Bruh…literally.

Another dumbass punk who thought he could drive since he could afford a supra. Money cannot buy brain and skill.

He was really lucky it wasn’t a head on collision. All for just the Tic Tok viewership.
