Okay so I've went through like 5 motor mounts. I drive normally so idk why they keep breaking on me. I've replaced the bottom one once and that one didn't even need replacing. What could be wrong to make the motor mount break all the time?! They cost too much to just throw them away like that because my car is munching them things up!!

Automatic or manual?
Replacing one motor mount won't last if other motor mounts are weak or broken.
The stress has to be distributed through all of the mounts. If one or more are worn or broken, they will stress any other motor mounts causing failure or fatigue.
Was this car ever in a major front end impact that could have bent the frame (yes, I know the car really doesn't have an actual frame)? If everything is not in proper alignment in the engine compartment, the motor mounts can be subjected to unusual stress, causing them to break frequently. Just a thought.

It's important to replace even the worn mounts.

I'm guessing that it's cheap mounts or not replacing all the mounts that really need to be replaced, and at the same time.
Usually a damaged front subframe won't harm the mounts, but will cause more advanced axle/CV joint wear due to improper angles of the axles causing excessive loads on them.
Some people pound the crap out of their manual cars and that can cause premature wear as well. I looked at your CarDomain page and saw that you have an auto. You don't appear to be the type to beat your car either.
It's also nice to have a cute girl posting around here. More pics please.
