Does it jerk a bit when you initially press the gas? Possible bad tps, or out of calibration, can make driving a bit erratic. Maybe all of your engine mounts fuked and the motor is jerking around getting on and off the gas, does it make a clunk?

Either that or you just a gammin driver, need dat finesse my abo, did you only just get the car?
