Why can you go any distance in a car while the Earth is spinning in the opposite direction?

My theory on this is that the whole earth is spinning and the car is connected to the Earth which in turn means everything about direction is relative. Which brings to my next question that may disprove this theory why can a lane go anywhere while the Earth is spinning the opposite direction. This is increasingly compex Especially when you consider the at a speed of 25000/24 or just over 1000 miles per hour. It just seems to me that the earths rotation effects nothing. Shouldn't we be able to tell with telescopes using some celestial Body as a reference point that we, the earth, is spinning incredibly fast.
