As I passed through Tacoma the car started shaking so violently I had to pull off the road. A quick check showed nothing amiss but the car would not go much past 45mph without shaking itself apart. That meant the main freeways were out and I wound up on a less-used road doing 45... until the Highway Patrol pulled me over. I finally worked my way to my sisters at about 4:00AM. The next day we went to a local mechanic who declared the rear suspension bushings as shot. "It won't fall apart, but it'". So, onwards I went. All-was-well (the shaking never reappeared) until about an hour out from the border - smoke started pouring out from under the dash. By the time I got pulled over, the fire was out. The car still ran, and everything seemed to still work, so on I continued. ---continued---
