Spotted in Downtown Anchorage, anyone here?
Walking to dinner to night, I spotted this in a parking lot in Downtown Anchorage and was curious if it belongs to anyone here. The lowered stance and out-of-place split grill on a C4S has me wondering if it an enthusiast and maybe hanging out here on the forum.
As a side bar: There is just something so "Right" about seeing a car like this with snow tires and covered in road grime! It brought a smile to my face, so whoever you are, thank you!

I've seen that car around town. I live about 9 miles from downtown Anchorage.
Here is a picture of my C4 taken last week:

I went through my entire car this winter. The only rust I found was on the horn bracket, and various speed nuts, screws, and bolts. Not a single spot of rust on any part of the body.

I live at 8000' above Sea Level in Colorado, so it's a little on the "brisk" side, but nothing more.

Colorado uses sand which takes it's toll on the paint work on the nose of the car and windshields, but I'll take a clear bra and glass coverage on my insurance over a rusty car ANY DAY!

Seems like I am seeing some sort of cinder on the roads for traction though. Is that what it is?

I destroyed a complete drivetrain on my winter bike this season, chain, cassette, and chain rings. Even though we had pathetic snowfall levels, the roads are still covered with sand, stone dust, and salt...depending on County, town, or city cycled thru.
Winter cycling presents spectacular vistas, just make sure you have red rear, and white front flashers. Oh and, if you HEAR a plow coming...get off the road now.

I love getting on my bike as much as the next guy, but I have so little trust in people in thier cars, that I want NOTHING to do with riding my bike around them in the absolute BEST conditions. Now, make all intersections and corners blind with snow banks, all the road surfaces slippery with snow and ice and make the air temp 0 (or less) before the wind chill????? Yep, you are going to get a "nut job" label from me!!!!
