Default why is my car shaking like that?

for some odd reason after driving around for a while usually during the day my car shakes at stop lights...it shakes like my car is having a sezure...(ihavetroublespelling) im thinking it could be the heat... causing my car to run a lil warmer which it does a lil bit... but could it be something else?

sounds like your car is going through withdrawl...it happens when you do not beat on them often enough...they get all twitchy...it goes away right after a good beating..much like my wife (j/k...I do not beat my car)
