Because it is unethical and against the rules:
http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/rules-vhf.html
"2.3 Rover: One or two operators of a single station that moves among two
or more grid squares during the course of a contest."
"2.3.3. Rover vehicles must transport all the equipment, power supplies, and
antennas used at each operating site."
You cannot simply drive from one fixed station to another and call yourself
a rover. The entire station itself must be moved from one grid to another.
