Yeah, we get that on the East Coast as well, in some spots like driving
on the Jersey or Pennsylvania Turnpike. Occurs in HMMWVs, or other
military vehicles, or any other vehicle as well; rynthmic vibration
every 3/4 of a second or so, sometimes a strong vibration, sometimes not
so strong. Usually coincides with hitting those stupid concrete section
dividers every 50 to 75 feet or so. Bud-dump, bud-dump, bud-dump... :)
