no, it's not a big deal. many people drive with it in the open position for a VERY long time and don't even realize it until the winter comes along.

your car will run suboptimally, possibly consume a bit more gas, but i wouldn't worry about it.

50 miles for a mechanic is pretty far away, bummer that you have to make such a long trip. :(

happy holidays!
