You are right. I merely used it as in the poster's frame of context; the car wasn't annihilated; it was destroyed.
Was Corvette Kirk Trying to... (spoilers)

As I posted some days ago in another thread:
It's not all that uncommon for recently-single-parents to find a new partner, realize after a year or so that partner isn't all he/she was cracked up to be, but stayed with him/her anyway "because the kids needs a mother/father". I've seen it happen, more then once.
Maybe it was a Harold and Maude type thing instead of an Alan Ruck in Ferris Beuller type thing.
It's pretty aburd, too, that such a seemingly abusive asshole would exsist in the more utopic 23rd century Earth.
Abusive assholes have existed since the beginning of time. They aren't going anywhere in the next 200 years.
We have to consider then whether, assuming the symbolism is correct, that the act is one of destruction or annihilation, then. That is up to debate, I think.
If one were to annihilate a idea, as in remove it from reality, and then use aspects of that idea that are still separate from that idea through one removal from reality to make something different that is, once again, once removed from reality... is that an act of destruction or annihilation?
There is a store in the village, everyone knows it and while we all have different opinions on the contents of the store we can all acknowledge that the store is getting a little old and needs some work.
If I were to use a zap gun to remove the store and everything in the store from reality, while using the vague "idea" (read: My perception of what the store should be) of the store that been once annihilated to build a new store in my ideal image is that an act of destruction or annihilation?
I would argue it is an act of annihilation. Just because you have used your perceptions of the original idea to construct a replacement where the original once stood does not mean the replacement takes the place of the original! You have not destroyed something and built it from the ruins joining new materials to an old consensus you have merely dropped something new on an old act of annihilation that holds only those traits changed by your perception.
So, you see my issue.
so what exactly did JTK annihilate in that scene?
Well, I thought of this motivation, too: after George went out like he did, maybe she wanted someone really ordinary who was going to stay planetside while she was gone. The guy gets along with Jim ok; maybe he just has a problem with George, Jr.
see below for spoilery bit:
ugh... it's not happening!

it happened right after McCoy and Kirk got on the Enterprise. when Kirk came to (from his allergic reaction) in Sickbay... at some point, McCoy called out to Nurse Chapel, and she answered
I think you're reading too much into a car chase scene.
It shows him as a rougue, and BTW it's an obvious homage to the Pod-Racing Anikin Skywalker.
