sorry to hear about the damage. know your limits! i know exactly what speed i can take all the local 'corners' at my level of driving. i have a safe speed, a fast speed and a limit speed for each turn. rain is one set and dry is another. driving fast on the street is dumb but i admit i'm guilty of doing it occasionally. if you have a fuzzy idea of what speed you can take that turn, then don't take it aggressively. start at a normal speed. if you feel you can go faster, then take it 2 or 3 mph faster next time. improve your driving ability SAFELY. on top of that, learn about weight shift, driving lines, etc etc. it's not just for racing. it makes you a safer driver. rwd forces you to be a more technical driver. too fast into a corner in a fwd all you have to do is brake. too fast into a corner in rwd and brake hard or throttle lift; you have a good chance of spinning out. sorry for the preaching.
