This is why I wear glasses when I cycle...
It makes lots of sense. But (most of us) don't want to look like Bono.

Geek observation: I used to ride at 120psi but have been knocking 20 off for town riding because the roads in East London are so shite. I honestly don't think I've shot anything since I scrubbed the pressure off.
Best shot: BMW on NKR who had just given me verbals for signaling with bags of time and swinging round a parked bus (he accelerated to squish me out, thus making an argument out of it). He got a nice loud ting on his passenger door.
Worst: Hit the back of a push chair a while ago. I was the only vehicle in the vicinity but still pulled the full opposite direction 'I know nothing' look as I cycled off.

I never really gave this much thought before reading this thread last night. Today a big fucker of a stone got thrown at this nice new Yaris being driven by a granny when I passed her. I felt pretty guilty about it and so avoided eye contact when she passed me...

It always sounds worse thasn it is - car paint, especially with stone chip protection is pretty tough otherwise they'd be down to bare metal after a few months.

I did this today and hit the car alongside me. Standard. I thought about it for a while, so it's amusing/coincidental that this thread has popped up today.

one little road near my house is full of tiny stones that get fired at parked cars every time I ride down it. The other day I went over the edge of what was pretty much a boulder and it whacked the door of an estate car, made such a noise so I cycled away pretty quick.
From the amount of nicks and scratches on my frame I think the only thing I'm hitting is myself :(
