I've been commuting for 8 years now. 6 of those all year round.

I had a drink thrown at me in Michigan on a recreational ride.

I have had one car pull forward to right turn on red and I sat down on his hood. The other incident was my fault - no lights, so a car backed out in front of me. No damage to me or the bike in either case - low speed on both parties in both cases.

As long as you ride carefully and expect the car to just pull out because they don't see you, most drivers don't actually want to hit you - it damages their car and increases insurance....

Oh, and the "How was your commute" thread is better reading - a lot of people post every day, whether they've had an incident or not. If you look at any car forum, it will have lots of threads on problems. If you're not having problems, you're busy riding or driving. Once their is a problem, you post about it to try and fix it (or in cyclists cases, to let off steam.)
