Actually, they are. I know a guy who built one and drove it pretty regulary and had it registered as a pickup truck.

Another inexpensive and fun armored car is the Ferret series of scout cars. These are plentiful and can go in reverse as fast as forward since they use a gear reverser instead of a dedicated reverse gear. Turrets for the Ferret handle everything from LMG to light cannon.
