Default Drifting in the Snow!!

Hey everybody, winter is coming up and that means snow!! I cant wait to do some "drifting" (technically its not really drifting because accords are FWD i know that, dont need any bs about it not being drifting). my car is a 2000 Accord EX-L with stock suspension; what kind of damage, if any, could there be to the car drifting on flat, level, snow covered roads at low speed? i know im excited to do some snow drifting, are you?

I wanted to get a 240sx over my accord but just couldn't find a decent one for my price range. Had a 95 240sx with 150k miles on it for 4.5k. Decided not to buy it after the carfax report said it began as a fleet vehicle for the first 3 yrs. A project car would have taken too long and cost too much since I would have to pay for all the work on it.

Ive always wondered the same thing. My friend and I did it in his Lumina, and I told him to put it in neutral right before we started spinning around (so maybe it wasnt drifting[8D]). Can it damage the differential?

Anyways, it was an empty sloped old car parking lot that was perfect...places to get up to speed + no lights posts. A mustang saw us doing that so he came in the high entrance did a coupel donuts, turned around, and it took him about 5 minutes to move like 30 feet! lmao He was flooring it the whole time...poor tires. Idiot kid! lol
