Exclamation ok

Well right now it has 63,000 miles and i haven't done any tune ups since i bought it maybe around 60k miles. well like i said it smells like a truck's exhaust i don't think its that bad but if some other people can smell it i think it makes a difference in opinion. and by the way does anybody know how much the engine mount are?? or does anybody have a spare i can buy? i think i really need to replace mine coz the whole car still shakes when im at the stop light.
