Why do people keep harping on young Kirk driving his late father's car off the cliff? It was a perfectly reasonable way to keep his jackass stepfather(?) from ever getting his clutches on it.
Wow. I think that's the first time I've seen anyone describe the act of "driving a car off a cliff" as "reasonable". =P
That said, I've seen the movie at least 4 times, and I can't recall it ever being established it was George Kirk's car. I always thought it was his stepfather's car. Not that that changes anything, other than adding one more inadequately explained plot point to the pile. And again I say =P
