I don't know . . . define "slammed." I only say it with heavy sarcasm . . . it's a silly word.

to me, if you cannot get over a speed bump without scrapping bottom, or into a slightly slopped driveway... then you car is "slammed"

You don't hit on the raised crosswalk things? If I'm going over 15 I catch bumper on the way back down them and my car isn't even "slammed."

I would have to say though, if your car isn't "slammed" it's really close.
