head to
does 'head to' imply only for living beings with 'head'? like if i were to say "my car is heading off to school", that'd be wrong?
how to tell when is the right time for 'head to' instead of 'go to'? Thanks in advance
which is wrong
1) I'm heading off to school
2) the plane is heading to New York
3) please head to supermarket and grab some tomatos
4) she throws a pair of scissors and its heading this way.

Terr3 does 'head to' imply only for living beings with 'head'? No, it is not used exclusively with 'living beings', however, when it is used with things, there is usually a person who has some control over the direction the thing is headed in. "My car is heading off to school" --> This sounds like the car has no driver.
