You expect the street racer who DIDN'T crash to stick around?

It doesn't even need to be a street race. Look at that fool Eddie Griffin and the Enzo. All it takes is a DUMBASS driver and a high horsepower car.

Hrm, I would assume most AWD cars have a fuse that can be pulled so it can be towed in 2WD.

How on anything other than an Electronically controlled center diff is pulling a fuse going to disengage the rear driveshaft from the front?
