Gotta love the 5 mph bumper!

I just managed to back my 08 Dodge 2500 pickup into my 012 VW wagon. It knocked the VW back about 4'. I cursed myself vigorously calling myself all the names in the book!

Then I got out and looked and could find no damage whatsoever. The outside mirror on the vW was folded in (How TF did that happen?)...but no damage visible anyhow!

I had managed to maneuver the big dog in front of the VW on my rather steep hill (street) but offset a bit so that the VW managed to be in my blind spot. I spoke with one of my lovely daughters for a minute then allowed the dodge to roll back so she could get out of my driveway....right into the vW! I had the big hitch in the back and it managed to miss the vW completely.

Glad I didn't back into the Studebaker CE!
