A couple of weeks ago - Luckily nothing major, but still a pain in the ass - first time in years i've hit anything.

Rear window was fogged up and didn't see a small truck parked behind me - hit it pretty hard and did this:

Quick patchup and put in my spare (but pretty messy) taillight - tried to bash out the dent better, but don't have proper tools, so will sort it out later:

and a nice shot of the whole car ( will fix up flaking paint soon - was painted a few years ago (long before i got it), and its starting to come off in places...

Ah bugger not a nice feeling. At least you can fix it at your leisure and not going to be a warrant issue. Nice starion by the way.

Don't you guys down under have electric-defoggers on the rear window?
(From pics I've seen there is none...)
