I hit my SOS button and had mine towed the next morning after limping it home a few blocks. You're adding a lot of stress to other components if you continue driving it.
Yeah, I wasn't exactly sure what had happened, the car just got loud, but I figured that since no engine lights where I could probably make it home. Just drove it real slow and careful, cuz everytime I hit a crack or bump in the road it was noticeably unhappy. I thought about having it towed to the dealer, but then thought that the tow truck probably wouldn't be as gentle with it as I would.
