Could it be the control arm bushings are gone? Seems most likely to me, when they go they cause the wheel to move around excessively under braking which causes vibration

no...guys.. it's not with the brakes....
The car vibrates when it's completely stopped. Not in a move. Like at the red signal...

is 'idle' similar to 'vibration'? with a noise?
then yes.... lol I guess that's the one.
What's the solution...?

could be loose motor mounts as well...but most likely rough idle is my guess! there are a few people on the forums with the same problems...look through the archives and you should be able to read up on it. Good luck

Could be something as simple as the gas you are using as well.
Not sure about the "noise" you describe though.
Try running a few tanks of Shell premium through it ?? Skip the convenience stores and grocery store gas stations.
You an IU student? I'm a few hours north of you.
