Actually, you're still in physics. And chemistry :-) In order for the car to attract/repel charged ions, the car itself must be charged. ...with static electricity. This would mean you'd be able to p

Picky...Picky...Picky! Please notice the judicial use of the terms "typically" and "almost always". These are avoidance terms used to help one avoid "the penalty box". at any rate, I commuted Trevor'

Right, but hasn't it been noted that positively grounded cars have more tendency to rust than negatively grounded cars? Of course, all tend to rust to one degree or another, as long as they're carbon
