i don't know what's wrong with my car
alright... today driving home my car starting shaking really hard. especially when i would get to a stop light. Everytime I stopped I thought my car was going to die. I don't understand it... I don't know much about cars, but I came home and checked the oil and it was a milky foam brown color. It's not suppose to be like that. I've had to the car for awhile and I check it after every 3 fill ups and it hasn't been low. I added more just in case and then waited 20 minutes. It looks better now, but I'm scared to drive around in case it dies. Does anyone know what else I can check or what it could be... why is shaking so hard at low rpms?

haha...no not smells, no smoke, no leak. it didn't die, but sure came close. also when i accelerate it makes a strange squeak noise. i'm going to go put a full tank of gas in and some antifreeze stuff b/c it's been cold. maybe condensation or something got in it. i have no idea!

Bummed, but bring on OU!
could be as simple as a destroyed motor mount. The foamy oil on the dipstick was a somewhat common occurance. Mazda issued a TSB about it I think.
