Let's see, a car simulator would need to add wind noise, tire whine, muffled highs, extreme stereo separation, lots of sound reflection off glass, background chatting, the occasional scream, and randomly-timed complaints like "Are we there yet?". It would also substitute silence for all bass solos.

Sure, I'd buy that to simulate real listening conditions.

[EDIT: the free VST2 plugin David linked to above actually does include a Car simulator! It's horrible sounding, of course, like listening while wearing your Russian winter hat. There is also a simulated surround-sound setting, and a large hall filled with reverb that I would have called "Empty Gymnasium", as well as a 'normal' setting (Off) they call 'studio'. Kinda fun, very extreme sonic changes, easy to use.]
