I got into a heated argument (preschool) about whether the car jumped or flew. My dumbass neighbors (my age and younger) contended that it flew. Their mother backed them up. I bet they turned out really fucked up with a parent who was willing to lie to them and distort reality rather than hit them with a dose of reality. I was super mad about it. And now look at me: I’m an atheist who believes in Leftwing politics, so I’d say that on the spectrum from reality to fucked, I turned out pretty ok. Hate to think how they must see the world today.

fly

to move through the air using wings.
to be carried through the air by the wind or any other force or agency:

"Any other force or agency" such as a car's momentum

jump

to spring clear of the ground or other support by a sudden muscular effort; leap:

"muscular effort" cars don't make muscular effort.

Looks like flew was technically more accurate

Flew off a cliff and flew into the sky have very different connotations.

They may have been referring to the cartoon. The car in the cartoon did some ridiculous shit, such as tires that inflated like balloons and made the car extra bouncy.
