Initially motion sickness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_sickness) in a car which is now associated (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_conditioning) with being in a car, (perhaps including the smell of the car interior).
 so now nausea is experienced even before the car has moved: triggered just by being in a car.
