taking out that fuse doesnt make the car truely fwd. i forget what exactly it does, but i read on the forums somewhere that, for example, if you wanted to tow your car, you still need a flatbed or you'll break something.
another thing. a friend of mine has a 1st gen talon. it broke so he had to get it towed. the guy said that even thoh its AWD, he can tow it with a regulat tow truck.
they made it all of like 3 feet. now, not only is it not running, it is RWD. and if you saw the small connections putting power to the rear wheels, you'd be afraid to put power through them too...
