Well, for your sake, I would certainly hope that it's not something so serious as to warrant getting a rebuild or new engine or even a new car. Do, however, drive it as little as you possibly can (preferably only to the shop if its an easy ride like NHWayne said) and have it checked out.
If it turns out that you need a new engine, it's not the end of the world. If the rest of your car is in OK condition (no rust on the body work, transmission, cooling system, shocks, suspension, etc all OK) then I would just get my engine swaped if I were you. Turns out that was the more economical alternative than buying a new or used car. I recently had to do that with my 1998 900 (due to a leaky head gasket) and it's been running fine.
GOOD LUCK!
