OT:huge sudden vibration(broken motor mount?)

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

im guessing your passenger side mount just bit it. the vibration should peak
at ~3k rpm, and make the rear view mirror vibrate like hell. the reason i
say passenger side is because the front/rear wouldnt cause vibration reving
in neutral, and the driver side mount doesnt have enough weight on it to
cause the huge vibration you describe.
