3rd time my Fiance's grandmother hit my bumper the same exact place I was like "Really its no big deal." At that point I was like aw its just a little less paint that before.

I have been lucky SO FAR about being hit in the same place.

haha yeah we do spend a little too much time in OT... Getting perma-scarred from that place.

Yeah don't know if I'd cry but who knows, maybe if I accidentally run over a puppy I would shed a tear (has to be a damn cute puppy tho

). But that is an odd kind of luck getting hit in the same place all 3 times!

Federal regulations require all vehicles to be able to withstand a 5mph impact to the bumpers with no damage.

Lol yeah it does quite a bit of visual damage.
The only reason its lucky is I don't have 3 different dings on three different panels.
Ha at least I can take pictures from one side of the rear end.

Your car looks fine and am sure is ok. The only place that would show anything if you got hit 5-10+ mph would be a crease above the rear wheel arch, just below the triangular rear windows.
