No you aren't, you have mass.

i believe that the light will not project in front of you because you are already going at the speed of light. my co wroker argues otherwise

argues that the light will still appear in front of you because it also is going at the speed of light but much further is the time scape

Anything in front of you sees two beams of light so blue shifted that they they are throwing off massive numbers of virtual particles/anti-particles, and they see this for 1/1,000,000,000,000,000 of second before they are incinerated by the quantum equivalent of an pettawatt laser.

Also your car will now have a unicorn riding a tsunami of flames on the hood, but only for observers in front you.
