Stripped/Broken Intake Manifold Bolt

So I was trying to install new spark plugs on my car and as I putting back all of the bolts I just snapped the bolt!

It was one of the 2 studs from the intake manifold. My question is will it damage my car to drive to a shop to look at it or is it fine for now? I dont see a gap at the moment.

Just some input would be nice

Depending on how big the air leak will be.
Any air that enters bypassing MAF (mass air flow sensor) will mess up air fuel ratio causing the car to run weird.
you should be ok driving to the shop.

Agreed, you should be fine to take it to the garage; especially if you installed a new gasket and lubed it up.
