Most of you missed the point of my (retarded) question.

I'm sure if Batman (Yes, he dresses like a bat in spandex) needed to get from A to B, he would not want to be noticed. If he needed to park his car for several hours, he would not want to be noticed.

I can't see Batman just driving around Gotham City in a crazy-looking car with his symbol all over it, attracting attention to himself and where he's going.

I can see him driving a powerful sedan, painted black, and tinted windows.

Alfred drives Wayne around in a Rolls, I think.

Maybe that's why he doesn't drive around town just chilling very often. He hangs out on a bunch of rooftops instead. When he is in the car he usually has a destination in mind, and everyone knows something big is going on anyhow.

he couldn't drive...by the time he amassed the fortune of bruce wayne calibur anything he did would be watched by the govt, then on top of that soon as he went out ONCE in his "batmobile" the media would dub him fair game and thus fly every copter to scout him out.
Upon him actually catching a criminal he would be sued by the criminal for "assault and battery" and the police owuld start a full on investigation.
All the sudden batman can't come out of hiding, the police track bruce wayne down, he pays off his lawyers and the criminal so he doesn't get sent to jail, and he gives up at this point cause its clear people dont want to be helped or have a caped crusader.
I contend this would happen to any "superhero" showing up in the US today, our country is so sue crazy and media frenzied that if someone were actually trying to protect us OTHER than the police we'd be told to fear him/her and that s/he was actually the criminal

EDIT: but his car would be something awesome for at least one trip out....pearl black aston martin vanquish
