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

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.
