I've done it, a little over a year ago. Pulled into my garage (well, started to anyway) with my Super V on the roof. Luckily the rack mounts were weaker than the Cannondale. Broke the rack mounts, dented the roof of my car, bent my Thule bars and bike tray, and cracked the vinyl siding trim. The bike was fine other than a tear in the headshok boot. Easy fix.

I don't normally park my car in the garage, because I keep my vintage cars in two of the bays and the third is reserved for she who must be obeyed. But on this day my wife was out and I was in a hurry because my 8 yo son forgot something. I've had the same roof rack for almost 20 years so I guess I've done OK. Funny part was that after I surveyed the damage and calmed back down, my son said "wow Dad, for a minute there I thought you were going to swear." My response: "I didn't??"

Other funny part was that I was more concerned about the bike than the car or house. I really love my Super V!

I now bury my garage door opener at the bottom of my console storage compartment whenever the bike rack is on the car. That way I have to stop and think before I open the doors.
