I'm taking it to my mechanic on monday now. We'll go for a test drive and see what he thinks. I had to drive out to san bernardino today so I got to spend some intimate time with my car.

It's not a stuttering or choking like a fuel problem would deliver... I can downshift and rev it with just as much power as it's ever had.

It's not a shimmy in the wheel or in the shifter.

It's a shake or rumble that isn't at low speeds, but 50 and above now it'll do it more often, but not ALL the time.

If it's the brakes then I'll be happy. The outside pads are quite nice. =) It's probably cheaper to do that than some other stuff.

THANKS!
