      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.

      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.
