I think you started a good thread others could contribute to...….."Sighting!"

I occasionally see a C3 in my area but never posted pics.

By the way: How fast does one go to wind-strip paint off the deck spoiler?

I think that paint erosion is due to excessive turbulence experienced as one approaches the speed of sound..... Either that, or he's hiding a flux capacitor in the car.

That's caused by putting your beer cooler up there when you are at a gathering.....

Exactly! Paint peeling happened enough on small private jets back in the late '70s...the spoiler in the pic reminded me of working on aircraft.
