if it isn't an alignment/wheel balance issue, then its probably a broken motor/transmission mount.

Our '99 Odyssey with 68K miles is on its 3rd transmission. Several broken motor mounts have been replaced. Both wiring harnesses (one for each power slider door) have been replaced. We're nearing the end of tire life on our second set of tires. The fuse box down by the E-brake isn't covered, and every so often when setting or releasing the e-brake a fuse is inadvertently knocked out by the drivers foot. Needless to say, the first time this happened caused a huge inconvenience to say the least. The thing has the worst, roughest ride and is so unbelievably loud. I swear I'll never buy another one. I get steamed when I consider that I paid a premium for this thing when it was new, with the rationalization that I was getting Japanese quality and a 2XX,000 mile vehicle.

The only reason why its still in my garage is because its paid for, and is unvelievably practical. Still, every thime I drive the thing, I swear that I'm going to trade it in for a new LC100.
