6 miles is probably a bad idea then eh?

I didn't see anything after my first initial drive when i heard the snap. and drove it into work today (6 miles). I just took a quick look, and didn't see anything loose (but I don't know shit about engines) so don't know where to look for any missing belts or pulleys. It also is driving just like it was before I heard the sound.
