yeh you can get them at "crappy tire" i've heard a few people say good things but its one of those things thats new and most people haven't tried or heard of ( not like you can tell immediatley if it works) but i think i might get one to test out and if it works would be a good investment if not oh well

they don't work in a car application. the protection is only in a straight line from probe to probe. It does not disperse through the entire car. They use the same technology on boats to stop the keels from rusting out.

This technology is not new. I've heard the trucking industry has been using them for years. I believe they are supposed to stop corosion by introducing an elecrode into the metal preventing it from rusting.
Had mine installed at the dealership before I took delivery... Got a 10 year warranty against rust, Any rusting at all, Including stone chips etc. Been on for 3 years come May '09 and no sign of anything yet... Time will tell whether it works as well as they say and whether they will stand behind the warranty..! 
If the stone chips right through the paint to the metal (exposing the bare metal) then the rusting process will not start, It just stays as bare metal (so they say... I will let you know when I finally get a stone chip..!)
