    My car now decided to start shaking above 30 mph or so. The faster I go the worse it gets. What's up?

    Probably west of you.
    Snow or ice in the tires or loose lugs?
    Get a good long car wash with the side blasters and see if that helps.

    I'm not so sure it is snow or ice, I had a similar problem last winter and it was snow in the wheel wells.

    Flat spot from sitting? Does it go away when the tires are warmed up?

    My money is on snow/ice in the rim. If your tires are warm and water gets in there. It can freeze when the rim stops. It doesn't take much to throw off the balance. Take it to a car wash and blast the crap out of the rims. Get them clean and try again.

    Or you threw a weight.

    They were great to deal with. Granted I had a few issues (probably my fault anyway) but they took care of me. Great guys over there...definitely recommend them!

    happened to my old legacy when i drove in a bunch of snow. snow boogers and stuff get stuck in the wheel wells and other components and it feels like something is wrong. drive over some bumps, drive faster, or hit the car wash and it will probably go away.
