Yeah, that is essentially a sacrificial anode as well, except it's in coating form rather than a block

I started thinking about this because when I was working on my car at the shop, I was cringing at the sight of the underbody of my car... 2-1/2 years old and I had to reef on some bolts with a pneumatic impact to get some of them off

I'm probably picking up my Si next week, so I'd like to avoid as much of this corrosion as possible right from the start.
