ah boy do I feel stupid. I figured out what my rattle was, but first a story...

I was wd-40 ing some rust on my car and had to take the wheels off to do it. I took care of it and put the wheels back on. The next day as I'm driving to school a hear the nasty rattle again, but its happening at low speeds also (25-30). As I'm driving home from school it is getting extremely bad, and I'm getting increasingly worried. I stop of at my cousins house to get it in the air so I can take a look, and then I have an idea. I whip out the tire iron and guess what? the lugs were loose as bastards. I felt so incredibly stupid! I could've lost my wheel! I always tighten the lugs when I'm done, but I must've been distracted or something. That was also probably the problem before, just didn't tighten them enough. So...

ALWAYS TRIPLE CHECK YOUR LUG NUTS BEFORE DRIVING!!!!
