Don't wear wool or fleece. Those materials build up a static charge more than others. I would know, everytime I wear a hoody to work I get shocked by my damn filing cabinet.
its like a static shock. everytime i get out of my car and shut my door i get a little jolt. is this just static from maybe the seat? or could something be wrong somewhere?
I think he means when you get out to close your door, keep your hand on your door untill you close it.
Yeah, but I open it with the plastic door handle, then close it from outside of the car...I can't use the plastic handle to close the door b/c I wouldn't be able to get out of the way fast enough esp. in tight parking situations.

Jesus.
He means, when you open the door (most likely with your left hand since you are driver of said Z) to maintain contact with said door. By either sliding your hand from the interior trim towards the outside of the door then pushing it shut, then letting go of door. The catch here is pushing the door out wide enough so you can still maintain contact with it and have enough room for you to slip out of your car. Or you can do 1 of two things else:
-Keep static cling in your jacket pocket and touch the static cling prior to closing door
-Move to a climate like Florida where the winters are still humid outside enough so that you won't ever get shocked.
I have leather in my car to oh and heated seats. LOL but that has nothing to do with it. I really do think its the shoes I wear to work. When I wear sneakers it happens but not as bad. When I wear work shoes you can literally see the bolt that goes from my hand to the car door.
Happens to me every single time now that the weather is getting cold. Some shocks hit pretty damn hard too, I can feel it all the way up my arm at times.

this happens every time i get out... like clockwork. i started touchin the window before the closing the door cause its not as bad of a shock...
its pretty annoying though.
