Fun way: pop the clutch in 1st. Do you leave one black stripe or two?

Sane way (depending on your definition of sane): Block the front wheels.
Put car in gear, release parking brake. Jack rear end up 'til both wheels
clear the ground. Turn one wheel 'forward'. If the opposite wheel turns
'forward' it's LSD, if it turns 'backwards' it's open (non-LSD).

I figured if I waited long enuf, someone would ask this question.

Think I'll try both ways, just to make sure! :-)
