"Wu-Tang said it best, protect ya neck."

HEMET—At least nine bystanders suffered neck injuries after a clean MK4 Supra cruised past an unsuspecting crowd. The incident, which unfolded at a local Cars & Coffee event, left spectators both awestruck and aching—a grim reminder that sometimes, rare JDM cars and their memes really do come at a price.

For years, the MK4 Supra has been labeled as a modern automotive icon, celebrated mostly for its appearance on The Fast and the Furious. Yet on this fateful day, its performance transcended normal transportation. Witnesses described the spectacle as a blur of adrenaline, so intense that the very act of watching left many with a permanent twist in their necks. “All I remember saying was, 'Is that a Supra?' and next thing I knew, my neck felt like it had disconnected from my body,” lamented one injured onlooker, adjusting an ill-fitting neck brace.

Car enthusiasts have long argued that the thrill provided by some cars far outweighs the ability to keep your neck from breaking. The MK4 Supra has taken its reputation for neck-breaking to a literal extreme. “People need to be careful,” stated another bystander, “Wu-Tang said it best, protect ya neck.”

As investigations into the incident unfolded, doctors began predicting a surge in demand for auto-show neck braces—an accessory that might just become as essential as a pair of sunglasses at these automotive events. “If Supras are going to keep showing up like that, then we need to invest in the necessary precautions,” one neck brace manufacturer stated. “How many do you want? It's a minimum order of 12.”

Whether this neck-wrenching episode will serve as a turning point for crowd safety at auto events or merely become another dark footnote in the legend of the MK4 Supra remains to be seen. For now, the incident stands as a stark reminder that even in the world of high performance, there’s always a cost to the thrill of the ride.
