gotta say, the buzzing does kinda sound cool...i was on a 100-mile trip after doing the belts and halfway there it occurred to me that the shafts were out of time (turned out to be 2 teeth off...), but when you womp on it and drive hard the buzzing + engine/exhaust noise is somewhat exciting, yet the known consequences are terrifying.
that said, i did drive without functional BS shafts for some time and it was pretty obnoxious, the difference the vibrations made (even on good motor mounts). happily my oil pickup tube is still in good shape (had pan off in january), so i would guess it takes a longer period of time to do damage.
