Sorry to hear that “rugged” black plastic trim didn’t protect you from the myriad crappy drivers and their damaging ways. That sucks.

At first I thought there was a black circle pointing to the one area that seemed to be fine but then I realized that was a sensor housing.

Not great, but such is life. One advantage of owning a pre-scratched used car is that any news scratches are no big deal.

Front or back bumper? This happened to me a couple months back:

Rear bumper. And oof, that's brutal.

It left a slight indent but I have a paint protection film on the bumper and it managed to do its job, so I just left it. Annoying though. If you don’t have any spatial awareness, maybe you shouldn’t drive a giant truck with a tow hitch...

Bingo.

This is a good reason to avoid Georgia for the next few years.

Things happen! Like I said, could be worse.

The thing is that I know nothing I own will remain perfect (thanks, Sammy!). Recognizing things as consumable goods (meaning wear and tear) and seeing this as part of ownership makes this pretty much a non-issue.
