If you really think size equates to comfort & safety... Well, you could probably pick up one of these M60 Patton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on the surplus market. You could even ecomod it a bit: for instance, you won't really need the 105 mm gun on the highway - the 50 cal machine guns should suffice for dealing with road-rage cases - so that's a couple of tons off the weight right there :-)

Edited to add: I checked eBay, but there aren't any M60s being offered at the moment. However, there is this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Briti...=p4506.c0.m245 which is probably better than a tracked vehicle for highway driving. And this one is even street legal, at least in Florida :-)
