    Happens from the moment I start her up until I get wherever I'm going. Seems to be something driven by the "tug of war" between the drivetrain and brake system.

    Same symptom here...been that way since I bought her off the used car lot...

    Thought I had a handle on it once when I diddled with the trans mount, but no bueno'.

    Finally resigned myself to the fact that it's just a "normal" VX noise...if it's anything that's gonna break, that's when I'll fix it...

    I just Googled 'rough idle in drive when stopped'. There's a ton of stuff for this problem. It's mostly just shots in the dark, but motor and tranny mounts are frequently mentioned. Give Google a try and see if some of the possible causes might be applicable to your VX.
