You are traveling down an abandoned air strip in your 30 model A 2 door at the speed of light and you turn on the headlights, what happens?

Wouldn't the lights come on but not cast outward?

Re: ???
Big difference between the Model T and the Model A there. The Model T was designed before the introduction of the Einsteinian physics. Therefore the Model T follows Newtons laws, whereas the Model A has to follow Einsteins laws. So, the Model T can accelerate faster than the speed of light...

The light would gather up in the buckets until they were full then spill over and burn your knees.

Re: ???
You, as the driver in the car, see the lights come on, and illuminate things in front of you. An observer on the airstrip doesn't see the lights come on, or any illumination.
