Your question was '....any objects....' If you drive on the road you will have objects hitting your car....ever so same they may be.

once a paint can bounced out of truck coming toward me and all I could do was slow a bit to minimize the damage, with it ending up going under my front bumper cover and scraping it. I was really mad. I'd just painted the car a couple weeks prior- custom and that was truly upsetting. I sold it shortly after. That's just the way I am.

Had an owl swoop down and hit my windshield on night. Have hit a couple of birds and have been hit tire treads thrown up from the vehicle in front of me. Fortunately no injuries and no serious damage.

This huge dragonfly had the misfortune of introducing itself to my windshield. Got on so well with the windshield, most of it is still there.
I thought it would dry up and fall off by now. But, no! There it is each morning as I go to work staring at me with those big eyes. I try not to look at it as I text my way to work.

Yes.

A deer ran into the side of my one day old van. No damage to the van.
The deer didn't fare as well.

Yes, usually rocks thrown by kids in poor neighborhoods.
Sometimes debris falling from trucks.
Cigarette butts hit me about once a month (very unpleasant on a motorcycle).
