Does anyone else get shocked when they close their door?

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.

Static Discharge
My old 92 RX-7 had a piece on the inside of the door handle that would discharge the static electricity prior to getting out of the car. I wish the Z had something like that.
yup i get shocked everytime. it is kinda annoying but i live with it, or just let the door shut it's self. It is funny to have friends ride with me get out and then B***h about getting shocked

Yup me too. I also get bad shocks in my wife's Nissan Murano. In the UK they sell earthing straps that trail under the car - works to some extent but once worn down a little the shocks come back.
rolling the dice every time you go to get gas.
