Well, after having built a working rock crawler, with engine, gearboxes,
axles, steering and suspension, would you really want to make your own
standalone game of just that car? Kinda boring don't you think... ? :)
But yes, I see the point in simulating a single vehicle.. like for
instance the forklift truck sim someone is working on in here, could be
built quite easily in my editor, but may need more
options/parameters/inputs than my sim is prepared for and may then need
a standalone application. Good thinkin'.

Additionally, it would be nice if users of my program could export it to
a format that your editor understands and continue working on it there.

What do you say good people, let's establish a universal ODE file format
right now? With accessories to create a compileable source of the set up
bodies. ? Of course including loading and saving functions in ODE. This
sounds great! :)
