    Not quite correct. Stainless steel, even the best quality, is rust resistant. Even the best quality will rust in the right conditions. That’s why it’s so stupid for them to have decided that since it’s stainless steel there’s no need for it to get a protective coating or paint.

        Fair enough. I tend to forget about the DeLorean lol. I’m an electrical and computer engineer so I don’t tend to work with a lot of different types of materials. But with the little I work with even I knew it would have rust issues from the very beginning since there was no way they would spring for the material quality they needed to.
