The speed of light is high, but it is not infinite; that is the point of special relativity. Waves are travelling to us from distant stars but we are not seeing them as they are 'now', we are seeing them as they were years ago when the light left the star. If you travelled somewhere at the speed of light and then came back, you would still arrive shortly after you left. Instantaneous travel or propagation is impossible for any known force or particle. (caveat - quantum entanglement...)
 
If the whole car is moving at the speed of light, then no it will not. The entire car is moving and even though the speed of light is fast, it is not instantaneous.
