Well it happens rarely but when I accelerate my car does a couple of little jumps then takes off.

Oh just for reference sometimes I can feel my shifter and gas pedal move slightly.

It sounds like you have a loose or broken mount. I'm not exactly sure what the jumps are. I'm am guessing you mean literally and not like a bogging and surging of the carb.

Well I called a friend of mine who is a mechanic to see if its the motor mount or not and he told me to pop the hood, get in the car, hold the brake, put it in drive and push the gas. So I did.

That was it. The motor jumped up an came back down as there was no mount at all.
