the problems continue to mount. Im going to get this fixed and just cut my losses. But first, i need to know what needs fixed.

today i start my car when im about to head home.. and i hear a loud "thudding" noise coming from the front. Kinda sounded like something stuck in a fan, nothing was... sounded like a loose exahust pipe... nope. i pop the hood.. the ENTIRE engine is shaking violently back and forth. soon after the car died on me, tried starting, dies as soon as i pput it into gear. try again, smells like burning chemicals (not a good descriptor... but it sure wasnt smelling like it should)... end up shoving it back into the driveway and callin my cousin to pick me up. Anyone experience this?

I always use premium, used techron about 15-20K ago, always use Mobil 1 fully synthetic. serp belt looked to be in shape since i just got that replaced. im lost. seemed like a motor mount came loose. better not be a loose mount from when they fixed the serp belt, im not in the mood for a lawsuit.

on a funny, yet angry note: 2 days ago a friend tells me i need to wash my car... and i say "as soon as i do something good for this POS its gonna be a b*tch and have something else mess up on me like it ALWAYS does, im not cleaning it ever again cuz i dont want any other problems."

so i gave in and cleaned it 2 days later, washed, waxed, vacuumed.. and an hour later... this happens. funny, in a bad way.
