Default Is it a bad idea??? Burnt Clutch

Hey guys. I recently burnt my clutch as most of you know and I was wandering if it was bad to keep driving around? Is it bad? Can it make anything worse?

your clutch will go completely out and you wont be able to drive it at that point then your looking at a tow cost and a broken down car

unless it's completely shot you can still drive it as long as you take it VERY easy... it will at least buy you a week or 2 to save up for a new clutch.

It just slips right now and I hate it.

I am up in college and decided to drop it off at home until my clutch gets here, which is Tuesday. And hopefully my parents will drop it off at the shop and then I can pick it up next weekend. Yee pee!!!
