vibrates kind of rough

I don't think this is a problem but I thought i'd ask. When I start my car for the first time of the day to go somewhere it's nice and smooth but when I put it in reverse or drive while still holding the brake it give off a good vibration through the whole care that feels like I guess a steady earthquake or vibration. It doesn't seem to be a serious problem but it's always good to check.

As it gets warmer the less it vibrates.

Sounds like your engine mounts, have they ever been replaced?

Well crap, i doubt it. I'm pretty sure it was a rental car before I bought it but I will have to check it right away! Thanks
