Jason,

Yes, you are correct, under certain conditions the stainless can corrode. 

Think about this. The ornamental stainless steel used on the exterior of the Empire State Building was installed in 1931, that's almost 60 years of 24 hour a day exposure to the elements. (New York City elements: acid rain, pollution, etc.) That stainless steel looks as good today as it did the day it was installed. When it comes to the De Lorean stainless steel panels owners have no worries about corrosion for the life of the car and beyond.

[I found so info that might prove otherwise that the stainless steel can and 
will rust, but it is too big to post. BUT I will post it on a webpage if any 
one is interested in how stainless steel can be damaged and rust if in 
placed in a certain environment.]
[Remember stainless steel is an alloy with the primary ingrediant as iron 
(iron + oxygen= iron oxide= rust) ] Send me a reply if anyone is interested.

How long to make the panels rust? Probably never.

If a Delorean were to be submerged in water, how long would it take
for the panels to rust? they said in the article that Stainless steel needs 
oxygen in order preserve itself. Wouldn't that be weird
to see a rusted Delorean driving around?
