Strange noise coming from the engine on the last 20 miles or so, the noise would go up and down with the engine as it was revving. Towards the end, when the engine was started, a belt started to scream, something went pop (I even felt it), and I shut the engine down immediately. I inspected the accessory belt, and timing belt, everything was tight and there seemed to be no damage. I started the engine back up and the sound was gone.
