Question What going on?

So I got in my car after work and when I cranked it up it made a strange noise. Kinda like a tire rubbing, no CEL, car seems to be running ok but the dash and the steering wheel shake pretty hard just sitting still. I was scared to drive it so I left it at work. Any ideas?

Too vague to even attempt an Internet guess.
Pop the hood. Crank it and see where the noise is located. You said it's running ok but the dash and steering wheel are shaking? I seriously doubt it's running "good".
Get some more info and we'll try to help you out.

That was my first thought. It makes the noise when the car is in gear if that helps.

Motor Mount

Motor mount was my first guess.

It was a motor mount. Dropped it off at the dealer this morning to get it fixed
