Hahaha. I suppose on black top/pavement isn't drifting either?

You're being obtuse.
FWD and most AWD cars are not capable of drifting in the strictest sense, rather they simply drag their rear tires sideways across the pavement. This greatly increases wear on the tires as well as the rear end suspension components and can cause rapid failure. If you're serious about drifting, get a RWD car.
FWD drivers e-brake drift. This is dumb.
AWD drivers in consumer (read: not rally) cars drifting are doing ridiculous damage to their vehicles. They aren't meant to be put under that kind of force and it takes A LOT of force to break grip on all four wheels.
Or, in Huth's case, his AWD is failing in the snow.
