Sounds like the center diff might have blew up, these are some symptoms of it going out.

if so, how much is it to fix it? can i fix it myself? details would be cool if anyone has any idea about this stuff. thanks.

is this the first you drove the car ?
sounds like a old owner welded the diff to me.

Yes first tiem driving the car, wut happens if it is wet out and if i have to make a sharp turn? Will my wheels lock up or what?

this a good or bad thing? So ill jsut have to live iwth it? Is this to make it stronger in the end so it wont break? Thanks.

If the diff is welded you can just pull it out and put in a non-welded diff in. Or if its just shattered then you can just put a new one in. It is something you can do yourself. Its not that difficult you can do it with the tranny in the car.
