Default My car starts *shaking* at about 50mph... what the hell?

hey everyone,

recently i noticed that when my car hits about 50mph, it starts to shake... do any of you have any idea why this is happening?? i did have alil fun in the snow yesterday... think i could have messed up my alignment or something??


Thanks,

Eric
