Curious about how bad the damage is?? I think someone mentioned if it's cosmetic just leave it for now. Nice badge of shame. I'm thinking if you don't make a claim to insurance to fix the car that may help your rates as well.
Personally I've never driven with traction control ON, so I wouldn't criticize you for turning the babysitter off.
However... learn to control the car and learn to respect it.

Uhh well it is only cosmetic and it's pretty ugly. I'm going to try to straighten the fender out a bit but as far as actually getting repaired it's going to ding my wallet big time. I had just barely saved enough to fix it the last time I fucked it up so back to the drawing board.
The thing is, if I can get the ticket reduced I'll leave it until I can fix it out of pocket. But if they hit me with the careless driving charge I'll make a claim, get it back to new and try to get someone to take over the lease.
As far as the suggestions to going to the track. I DO go to the track and autocross it when I can, I also spend a good amount of time in industrial parking lots on rainy days.
I've had the car 4 months now and I've put just over 9000km's on it so it gets used believe me.
