    I've driven from Atlanta to Augusta without an alternator belt on before. If you turn off all electronics you will make it 10-15miles to a parts store no problem. When you get there they will charge the battery for free and you can drive back home.

    If you are farther than that from a parts store it would probably be a bad idea.

    Disconnect your alternator and see how far you get before you call anything.

    what car has a dedicated alternator belt that doesnt run anything else like the water pump and vac compressor, because you couldnt go from atl to augusta with no water pump.
