I feel like everytime I have to accelerate pretty rapidly something happens to my car...

tl;dr Version (To Long, Didn't Read)
My car shakes a decent ammount at about 0-7 mph, after that the car seems to run fine, it was only noticable after accelerating at a stop light faster than normal, but I didn't "floor it"

Decriptive Version

Today on my way to school I was stopped at a 2 lane stoplight that merges immidiately after the intersection, being in a school with a ton of "tools" they don't like to merge resonably and try to cut cars before the merge, preventing this i sped up to close distance with the car to my right so i didn't have 20 cars trying to get infront of me...car didn't accelerate as quickly as normal and didn't seem to want to downshift to get the higher rpms for acceleration

All was well until I parked in my parking space at school, when i backed in my car was noticibly shakey, going forward and backward, and even in neutral, i could look at my legs and watch them move right and left as the car shook. Pulling into the parkinglot though doing more than 10 mph the car seemed perfectly normal.​


Am I looking at another Stealer repair? Should i even drive it back home? I have AAA but also don't want to have a tow truck moving my car if I don't have to...

Fantasic, Stealer installed new ones like a month ago but had to do something with drilling new holes to make them fit? Didn't think that sounded right but I have to go back to this ridiculous dealer and get this sorted out.

Is it safe to drive in it's condition? How long do motor mounts usually last in an r129?

It should be OK to drive if it is the mount and not the bolt that is holding it.
Just don't go and race the Honda with it.

I wonder why they had to drill to install the mounts. Did they use the right mounts ? Are they MB-Dealer or other Garage ?
