Has anyone tried playing with parasitic anodes for rust prevention of
automobiles?  I have seen several likely gimmics that you "bolt-on"
and forget.  

I was wondering if there is any simple way to make a system that
*really* works for protecting some of the parts that tend to collect
water, such as on the bottom insides of the doors.  I was going to try
a long of cloth-wrapped zinc wire attached to +12v (through a several
k-ohm resistor).  Anyone have any other pointers or insight?
