Perhaps there might be a grain of science involved in this concept.
Ocean-going vessels (boats, if you are ivy-league educated) often bolt pieces
of zinc to the metal parts of the frame, because zinc has a greater propensity
to oxidize (rust, if you have an MBA) than iron. I don't see why the same
concept couldn't be applied to LBCs, but in order to complete a circuit, the
car has to be connected to ground. So perhaps affixing zinc to the frame, and
then, when the car is parked somewhere, hook up a wire to a metal rod affixed
to the ground. Pretty wierd, does anyone know why it wouldn't work?
