SHOCKING!

RE: SHOCKING!
I get shocked a lot as well. Air moving over the surface of your car produces static, moreso in low humidity weather (the fall and winter). I wear silk/blend suits a lot, which makes static worse. If you screw a length of chain from your undercariage and let it touch the ground, it will dissipate any charge to ground. Our cars tires insulate us from ground, and allow us to build a charge. Goofy little fact about electricity.....it takes 1000 volts of electricity to "arc" or "jump" 1 inch across air to a more negatively charged particle. Just some useless trivia for you all.
If you really want to stop getting shocked, copper chain would work the best. Actually Gold or Platinum would, but that would be expensive.

I get shocked a lot too, and I hate getting shocked. What I generally do is get it over with by lightly smacking the top of the door. Since I know it's coming, it's not nearly as annoying.
To completely avoid it, you can screw a chain or copy wire to your undercarraige and let it dangle on the ground, to ground you. But you might pick stuff up with that, too.

My car shocks me too! Bad sometimes. I have to pump myself up just to get out and get schocked. It's an adrenelin rush, by the time I get out, close the door, and get shocked, I'm ready to fight! [:@]
