Will this kill my car?

[eviljay]

Ok my car was diagnosed with low compression in the middle driver cylinder.All other cylinders showed good pressure. My mechanic suspects a burnt valve. What does this mean? Does this sound right to you guys? The car starts and runs but has what sounds like a bad misfire.
I cant afford to put any more money in this car so I worked a deal on another car. I am wondering if the mechanic is correct will it hurt my car to drive 60 miles as it is to deliver it? I know the gas mileage and the power are going to suck I just really dont want to have the car trailered with all the ice on our roads.
