I heard if you stand in water that your grounded and those pesky shocks will be a thing of the past.

Plz report with results .....*snicker*

Don't touch the metal. Touch the rubber window seal when you shut the door. That way no shock and no finger prints.

This hasn't ever happened to me. Even in the most dry days of winter.
Is it the seat covering / material?

...Ratchet should have been a Z, NOT a Solstice. STUPID STUPID. Did you guys notice that scene where the kid was inside the old Bumblebee Camaro and it had that air-freshener hanging from its rear view mirror that says "BEE-OTCH" with a picture of a Bee on it? I WANT IT! hahaa.

I've noticed that after I wash, it goes away for a couple days until road film gets on it again, then gets gradually more powerful. Some waxes, like Liquid Glass seem to make it worse.

I remember reading about static and tire composition a while back... something about more silica being used in tires which makes them more electrically insulated (and therefore not grounded). Carbon black is a really good conductor of electricity, but they use less in modern tires now. So we have nice wide, high silica tires which do not ground terribly well, so we step on the ground, touch the body... zap.

My fiancee got it right on the nipple one time from the corner of the glass (tinted)... that was entertaining.

used to happen in my previous car, not the Z tho. i believe its static electricity of you rubbing your feet mayber on the carpet. works differently with different materials, humidities, temperatures ect ect. depends on the circumstances
