Drifting, LSD, and winter driving.

I was wondering if its better to have LSD for winter driving or not? Do you have better traction, less chance of loosing control when its not wanted? The reason I am unsure is..... in order to drift, you pretty much need lsd right? As it is without LSD in my car, I can go sliding around corners in the snow and ice, would LSD make this more pronouced, or easier to loose control?

The Gs LSD is great for winter driving(at least mine is)
You really have to want it to come loose, for it to snap around. Be careful if you still have the rear sway bar attached. The car has a tendancey to want to come all the way around if you step it out just a little to far.

There is a hospital parking lot that I receantly found. Its just about 3 blocks from my place.
Just watch out for the curbs. I knocked my front left allignment out by 2 degres.
Did it while I was showing off in front of a Honda group that was hanging out there.

That reminds me of an old friend of mine who was tryin to be all Rico Swave (spelling??) and while drivin his tacoma into a McD's parking lot, eyeing up some chicks, smoked the curb, kinda ruins the moment....
