Never seen a rusty de lorian.... just sayin'

It happens, and it's a very sad sight indeed.

Edit: Yeah, that one is a fake. Sorry about that.

Doing an image search, there are a lot of real ones in various states of decay or oxidization. Certainly takes a lot more time (and straight up abandonment) for a DeLorean to show damage.

Yeah but like outside of this AI image have you ever seen a rusty DeLorean?

Using technology from the present to depict a past relic in a state it'll be in the future

You just have to think fourth-dimensionally.

Obvious AI-generated image is obvious

Have you ever seen a rusty Cybertruck? All this talk is based off one single forum post from an owner who didn't even know what he was photographing.

That's because the Deloreans you do see are typically pristinely restored. LOTS of Deloreans had rust.
