Can I remove the front Drive Shaft
Call me crazy, I dont need AWD in the summer, what will happen if I actually remove the front drive shaft ? I might get DSC or 4x4 code when slippage is detected but other than that shouldn't affect anything ? Instead I might reduce losses and get some more ponies on the rears, pitch in your thoughts!

Most full time AWD cars will require much more than a drive shaft removal. Often involving welding or manually locking the center diff. With all the computer guided shenanigans within the car, I'm sure you've also put the car into DEFCON 2....
Really not even sure how serious this post is to begin with, It's not even April 1st yet.
