As Nesvik says, I really don't think it's feasible, due to the network technology. windows needs to release and renew an IP every time it leaves a network and reconnects to another one. If you consider the speed that you'd be driving (even at city speeds), and the range of the average AP, your computer really doesn't have enough time to first find the network, setup a connection with it, and get an IP address with it. What's the average range of an AP? Say 100ft to be generous. At city speeds of 25mph, your going about 37ft/sec. Assuming you have a supply of constantly available AP's every 100 ft, your computer needs to release and get a new IP address every 3 seconds, and not loose any data inbetween.

It's just not going to happen.
